D
DNA replication
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the cell cycle phases: The cell cycle consists of interphase (G1, S, G2) and mitotic phase (M). Each phase has distinct functions.
Identify the G2 phase: The G2 phase is the second gap phase following DNA replication in the S phase. It precedes mitosis.
Recognize the activities in G2 phase: During G2, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis. This includes synthesizing proteins and organelles necessary for cell division.
Differentiate between the options: Chromosome alignment at the metaphase plate occurs during mitosis, specifically metaphase. Cytokinesis is the final step of cell division, following mitosis. DNA replication occurs in the S phase.
Conclude the correct process for G2 phase: Based on the understanding of the cell cycle, the correct process occurring during the G2 phase is cell growth and preparation for mitosis.
