Question

What is the period of cell life when it is conducting cell division?

G0 phase
interphase
tetrad
M phase

Answer 1

The correct answer would be M phase.

M phase or mitotic phase is a period of the cell cycle in which karyokinesis and cytokinesis take place.

Karyokinesis refers to the division of the nucleus of a cell. It occurs in four stages namely prophase, metaphase, telophase, and anaphase. It results in the division of nuclear content (replicated chromosomes) of a parent nucleus into two daughter nuclei.

It is followed by cytokinesis during which cell membrane, cytoplasm, cell organelle, and daughter nuclei are divided into two daughter cells.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. It is the M phase the period of cell life when it is conducting cell division. Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phaseof an animal cell cycle. Hope this answers the question.
