Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which stage of the cell cycle does mitosis and cytokinesis occur?
A
Interphase
B
S phase
C
M phase
D
G1 phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division occurs during M phase, which consists of nuclear division (mitosis) followed by cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). The DNA is replicated in the preceding S phase; the two copies of each replicated chromosome (called sister chromatids) remain glued together by cohesins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phases of the cell cycle. The division cycle of most eukaryotic cells is divided into four discrete phases: M, G1, S, and G2. M phase (mitosis) is usually followed by cytokinesis. S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prophase is the first stage in mitosis, occurring after the conclusion of the G2 portion of interphase. During prophase, the parent cell chromosomes-which were duplicated during S phase-condense and become thousands of times more compact than they were during interphase.
