During the cell cycle, cells carry out their normal functions and double their number of organelles in which stage?

Prophase
Anaphase
Metaphase
Interphase

The correct answer is: Interphase

During the cell cycle, cells go through the stages of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Interphase is the longest stage and is when the cell carries out its normal functions and doubles its organelles in preparation for cell division. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are all stages of cell division and do not involve normal cell functions or doubling of organelles. Therefore, they are not the correct answer for which stage cells double their number of organelles.
