Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the eukaryotic cell cycle is a series of stages that a cell goes through to grow and divide. These stages are organized into interphase (G1, S, G2) and the M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis).
Recall the sequence of interphase: G1 phase (cell growth and preparation for DNA replication), S phase (DNA synthesis/replication), and G2 phase (preparation for mitosis).
Recognize that the M phase follows interphase. The M phase includes mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division), resulting in two daughter cells.
Compare the provided options to the correct sequence of the cell cycle: G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, M phase.
Select the option that matches the correct sequence of the eukaryotic cell cycle stages.
