B
The G1 phase is when the cell divides.
C
The cell cycle consists of interphase and mitotic phase.
D
The cell cycle is a process exclusive to prokaryotic cells.
Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the cell cycle, which is divided into two main phases: interphase and the mitotic phase.
Interphase is further divided into three stages: G1, S, and G2. During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, not during the mitotic phase.
The mitotic phase includes mitosis and cytokinesis, where the cell divides into two daughter cells.
The G1 phase is a part of interphase where the cell grows and performs its normal functions, not where it divides.
The cell cycle is not exclusive to prokaryotic cells; it occurs in eukaryotic cells, which have a defined nucleus and organelles.
