Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication. It consists of interphase (G1, S, G2) and the mitotic phase (M).
Recall the purpose of each stage: G1 (cell growth and preparation for DNA replication), S (DNA synthesis/replication), G2 (preparation for mitosis), and M (mitosis, where the cell divides).
Note that the correct sequence of the cell cycle stages is G1 → S → G2 → M, as this reflects the natural progression of cell growth, DNA replication, preparation for division, and division itself.
Compare the provided options to the correct sequence: G1, S, G2, M. Eliminate any options that do not follow this order.
Select the option that matches the correct sequence, which is G1, S, G2, M.
