Multiple Choice
During which phase of the cell cycle does mitosis occur?
A
G1 phase
B
S phase
C
M phase (mitotic phase)
D
G2 phase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the cell cycle consists of several phases: G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), G2 (second gap), and M (mitotic) phase.
Recall that during the G1 phase, the cell grows and performs normal functions, but does not divide.
Recognize that the S phase is when DNA replication occurs, preparing the cell for division.
Know that the G2 phase involves further growth and preparation for mitosis, including the synthesis of proteins needed for cell division.
Identify that mitosis, the process of nuclear division, occurs specifically during the M phase, which follows G2 and leads to the physical separation of the duplicated chromosomes into two daughter cells.
