the period of interphase when the proteins are made that will be needed for cell division is the
Interphase consists of 3 phases; G1 phase (growth), S phase (replication) and G2 phase (preparation for division). During interphase, cells actively prepare for mitosis by gathering nutrients and conducting normal cellular functions i.e. they are metabolically active. Since cell division operates in a cycle, interphase is preceded by the previous cycle of mitosis. G1 phase . G1 phase (G = gap) is the gap between completion of mitosis and the beginning of S phase (DNA synthesis). During this time, protein synthesis occurs and the cell grows to about double its original size.
