Question

During what phase of the cell cycle does cell division occur?

During what phase of the cell is DNA replicated?
During what phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow?
During what stage of the cell cycle does the cell prepare for mitosis?

Answer 1

the cell divides in cytokinesis

the dna is replicated in interphase

the cell grows during interphase

the cell prepares for mitosis during g2

Answer 2

The correct answer will be -

1. During cytokinesis

2. During S phase of interphase

3. During G1 and G2 phase of interphase

4. During M phase

Explanation:

Cell division is a process which divides the parent cell into daughter cells through two ways: mitosis and meiosis. The cell division proceeds in two phases: Interphase followed by M-phase.

The interphase of the cell division represents the phase of the cell division in which the cell prepares itself for cell division. The process proceeds in three phases: G₁, S and G₂ Phase.

During G₁, the cell prepares itself for replication which takes place during the S or synthesis phase. The cell grows during this interphase.

The M-phase represents the mitotic and meiotic phase in which the cell division-first the genetic and then the cytoplasmic material is distributed to the daughter cells. The cytokinesis is known as the stage during which the cytoplasmic content is distributed.
