Which of the following accurately describes the G2 phase of interphase in an animal cell according to the provided information?

  • A: The nuclear envelope is fragmented.
  • B: Chromosomes are fully condensed and individually visible.
  • C: Two centrosomes are present, and chromosomes are duplicated but uncondensed.
  • D: Kinetochores have formed on chromosomes.

Explanation

The text states that in G2 of Interphase, two centrosomes have formed by duplication, and chromosomes are duplicated during S phase but cannot be seen individually because they have not yet condensed. The nuclear envelope is still intact, and kinetochores form later.
