At which of the following stages of cell division can the cell be said to be resting
Answer Details
The stage of cell division where the cell can be said to be resting is interphase.
Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell grows and replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. During this stage, the cell is not actively dividing, but rather carrying out its normal functions. This is the stage where the cell spends most of its time before proceeding to the next stage of cell division.
The other four stages of cell division (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) are collectively known as mitosis. These stages involve the actual division of the cell, and therefore the cell is not considered to be resting during any of these stages.
