Understand the cell cycle: The cell cycle is a series of phases that cells go through as they grow and divide. It consists of interphase (G1, S, G2) and the mitotic phase (M).
Identify the phases: G1 is the first gap phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication. S is the synthesis phase where DNA replication occurs. G2 is the second gap phase where the cell prepares for mitosis. M is the mitotic phase where cell division occurs.
Determine the correct sequence: The cell cycle begins with G1, followed by S, then G2, and finally M. This sequence ensures that the cell is properly prepared for division.
Compare the options: Review each option provided and compare it to the correct sequence of the cell cycle phases.
Select the correct option: Choose the option that matches the sequence G1, S, G2, M, which is the correct order of the phases of the cell cycle.
