Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the cell cycle: The cell cycle is divided into several phases, including Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis (S), Gap 2 (G2), Mitosis (M), and Cytokinesis.
Identify the sequence of the cell cycle: The typical order is G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, M phase, and then Cytokinesis.
Recognize the role of the G2 phase: During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis. It checks for DNA damage and ensures all proteins needed for mitosis are present.
Determine what follows the G2 phase: After the G2 phase, the cell enters the M phase, which is Mitosis. This is where the cell divides its nucleus and genetic material.
Conclude with the final step: After Mitosis, the cell undergoes Cytokinesis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
