Cell division occurs in four stages: gap 1 (G1), synthesis (S), gap 2 (G2), and mitosis ((M). Interphaseprepares the cell for division and comprises the G1, S, and G2 phases. The physical division of twocells from one cell occurs during mitosis.A certain mammalian cell, the fibroblast, takes 24 hours to divide. How many hours would such a cellbe expected to spend in mitosis?O 6.00 3.60 12.0O 8.4
