A
A phase where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA in preparation for mitosis
B
A brief resting phase between mitosis and cytokinesis
C
A period of cell division where the cell splits into two daughter cells
D
A stage where the cell undergoes apoptosis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the cell cycle consists of several phases, including interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.
Recognize that interphase is the phase where the cell prepares for division by growing and duplicating its DNA.
Identify that interphase is not a resting phase but an active period of growth and preparation for mitosis.
Differentiate interphase from mitosis, where the actual division of the cell's nucleus occurs, and cytokinesis, where the cell splits into two daughter cells.
Clarify that apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death, which is not part of the cell cycle phases like interphase.
