how does interphase prepare cells for mitosis?\nrest prior to cell division\ngrowth of cell and replication…

Brief Explanations:

Interphase is a crucial stage in the cell cycle. During this phase, the cell grows in size (both in terms of cytoplasmic volume and organelle number) and replicates its DNA. DNA replication ensures that each daughter cell will receive a complete set of genetic information. Growth prepares the cell for the physical division process.

• The option "rest prior to cell division" is incorrect as interphase is not just a resting stage but a highly active period of preparation.
• "Dissolution of nucleus and cell membrane" occurs during mitosis (prophase), not interphase.
• "Division of cytoplasm" is cytokinesis, which is the final step after mitosis (telophase), not part of interphase's role in preparing for mitosis.

Answer:

growth of cell and replication of DNA
