The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Term "Intermitosis":** - The term "intermitosis" can be broken down into two parts: "inter," meaning between, and "mitosis," which refers to the process of cell division. Therefore, intermitosis refers to the phase that occurs between two mitotic divisions. 2. **Identifying the Options:** - The question provides four options regarding what intermitosis is: - Option 1: Stage between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2 - Option 2: Stage between two mitotic divisions - Option 3: Interphase - Option 4: Both B and C 3. **Evaluating Each Option:** - **Option 1:** This option describes the stage between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2, which is known as "interkinesis." Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2:** This option correctly describes intermitosis as the stage between two mitotic divisions. This is a valid definition. - **Option 3:** Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle that occurs between two M phases (mitotic divisions). Since intermitosis occurs during interphase, this option is also correct. - **Option 4:** Since both options B and C are correct, this option is also valid. 4. **Conclusion:** - Since both option 2 (stage between two mitotic divisions) and option 3 (interphase) are correct, the answer to the question is option 4: both B and C. **Final Answer:** Intermitosis is both the stage between two mitotic divisions and part of interphase, thus the correct answer is option 4: both B and C. ---
