cell preparing to undergo meiosis duplicates its chromosomes during interphase. Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which the cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for cell division. It is during this phase that the cell duplicates its DNA, resulting in two identical copies of each chromosome. This ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes during meiosis.
