Which stage during interphanse does the cell begin divide?

During interphase, the cell does not actually divide; instead, it prepares for division. Interphase consists of three stages: G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), and G2 (Gap 2). The cell begins to prepare for division in the G2 phase, where it continues to grow and produces the necessary proteins and organelles for mitosis. Actual cell division occurs after interphase, during the mitotic phase.
