THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the steps of the cell cycle in order?
A
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis
B
Interphase, Cytokinesis, Mitosis
C
Mitosis, Cytokinesis, Interphase
D
Cytokinesis, Mitosis, Interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell cycle is composed of interphase (G₁, S, and G₂ phases), followed by the mitotic phase (mitosis and cytokinesis), and G₀ phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is conventionally divided into 5 phases, which include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -These phases occur in strict sequential order, and cytokinesis-the process of dividing the cell contents to make two new cells-starts in anaphase or telophase. Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Cytokinesis typically overlaps with anaphase and/or telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct sequence has G1 as a preparation for S and G2 as the time between the completion of S and entry into M. Cytokinesis occurs after the other stages to create two daughter cells.
