Mitosis follows the G2 stage of which phase during the cell cycle?
A
Cytokinesis
B
Interphase
C
Prophase
D
S phase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the cell cycle: The cell cycle consists of interphase (G1, S, and G2 phases) and the mitotic phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). Interphase is the phase where the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating its DNA.
Identify the G2 phase: The G2 phase is the final part of interphase, where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by synthesizing proteins and organelles necessary for cell division.
Recognize the sequence of events: Mitosis directly follows the G2 phase. This means that mitosis occurs after the cell has completed interphase, which includes the G1, S, and G2 phases.
Clarify the role of mitosis: Mitosis is the process where the cell's nucleus divides, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes. It is distinct from cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm.
Conclude the correct answer: Since the G2 phase is part of interphase, and mitosis follows the G2 phase, the correct answer is 'Interphase.'
