Understand that the cell cycle is a series of stages that cells go through to divide and produce new cells. It consists of interphase and the mitotic phase.
Interphase is divided into three stages: G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), and G2 (Gap 2). During G1, the cell grows and performs its normal functions. In the S phase, DNA replication occurs. In G2, the cell prepares for mitosis.
The mitotic phase (M phase) follows interphase and includes mitosis and cytokinesis, where the cell divides its nucleus and cytoplasm to form two daughter cells.
The correct order of the stages in the cell cycle is: G1, S, G2, M. This sequence reflects the progression from cell growth and DNA replication to cell division.
Review the options provided and identify the sequence that matches the correct order of the cell cycle stages: G1, S, G2, M.
