Multiple Choice
In the eukaryotic cell cycle, which three phases are collectively considered interphase?
A
Prophase, metaphase, and anaphase
B
G1, S, and G2
C
G0, M, and cytokinesis
D
S phase, mitosis, and cytokinesis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the eukaryotic cell cycle is divided into two major parts: interphase and the mitotic (M) phase.
Recall that interphase is the period during which the cell grows and DNA is replicated, but the cell is not actively dividing.
Identify the three phases of interphase: G1 (first gap phase), S (synthesis phase where DNA replication occurs), and G2 (second gap phase).
Recognize that prophase, metaphase, and anaphase are stages of mitosis, which is part of the M phase, not interphase.
Conclude that the phases collectively considered interphase are G1, S, and G2.
