In the eukaryotic cell cycle, which phase includes G1, S, and G2?
A
Mitotic (M) phase
B
Cytokinesis
C
Interphase
D
Prophase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the eukaryotic cell cycle is divided into two major phases: Interphase and Mitotic (M) phase.
Recall that Interphase is the phase where the cell grows and prepares for division, and it includes three subphases: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap).
Recognize that the Mitotic (M) phase includes mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division), but does not include G1, S, or G2.
Identify that G1 is the phase where the cell grows and performs normal functions, S phase is where DNA replication occurs, and G2 is where the cell prepares for mitosis.
Conclude that the phase including G1, S, and G2 is called Interphase.
