Description

Interphase is a phase in the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating its DNA. It consists of three sub-phases: G1, S, and G2, each playing a crucial role in ensuring proper cell division.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'interfase' is the standard term used in clinical settings, and variants like 'fase intermedia' may be encountered but should be avoided. It is important to maintain a formal register and ensure clarity, as confusion with other phases of the cell cycle can occur.

Example Sentences

EN: During interphase, the cell undergoes significant growth and DNA replication in preparation for mitosis.

ES: Durante la interfase, la célula experimenta un crecimiento significativo y la replicación del ADN en preparación para la mitosis.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'interfase' with 'fase intermedia'; mispronouncing 'interfase' as 'interfase' (incorrect stress); mixing up interphase with mitosis or meiosis
