In the nondividing cell, DNA tends to be a loose collection of chromatin. In the run-up to cell division, the DNA will coil itself up into distinct chromosomes.

What happens to a cell during the cell cycle of interphase?

G1 = gap one. The newly formed daughter cell grows by adding cytoplasm and organelles. The cell performs its normal activities, depending on what kind of cell it is. Some cells never divide, and they spend their entire lives in G1. S = synthesis. The DNA is replicated to prepare for cell division. Replication means that the DNA is copied exactly so there are two complete sets of DNA to divide up. G2 = gap two. The cell grows more to get ready to divide.

Are plants made up of DNA?

No. Note. DNA is not an animal either. Both Plants and Animals have DNA in the nucleus of their cells, DNA is the chemical that codes the instruction to build something living, the "immortal coil".

Can you make more DNA?

At the moment, genetic technology is very low tech compared to the possible things we could do with technology. So no. But actually, your body is constantly making more DNA as you grow because your cells divide using a process called Mitosis, look it up if you want. When the divide, you then have a new cell meaning more DNA.
