Which of these statements most likely describes what happens if dna is not duplicated during interphase?
a.

the new cells would be more numerous.

b.

the new cells would have an incorrect number of chromosomes.

c.

the new cells would have too many chromosomes.

d.

the new cells would have too many or too few nuclei.

prophase: we can observe the chromosomes to coil up and condense. they become visible. nuclear membrane and envelope disintigrate.s

metaphase: chromosomes align at the center, the metaphase plate. spindle fibers attach to centromeres of the sister chromatids. they meet at kinetochores.

anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled towards each opposing centromere, set on different poles.

telophase: chromosomes are now clustered up only on either sides of the cell. nuclear membranes reform, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate. this will lead to cytokinesis, the process that divides the cell membrane and forms the cell wall.
