What phase is the cell shown in? Interphase

What are the long and threadlike chromosomes in this stage called? Chromatin

What percentage of the cell cycle is spent in interphase?90%

What are the three parts of interphase called?

Synthesis

What happens to the DNA during the synthesis stage? Duplication

Why do we duplicate the DNA during interphase?

So that the daughter cells have the same information as the mother cell!
