Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What stage of the cell cycle follows S phase?
A
G1
B
G2
C
M
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -G1 is followed by S phase (synthesis), during which DNA replication takes place. The completion of DNA synthesis is followed by the G2 phase (gap 2), during which cell growth continues and proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is divided into the first growth (G1), Synthesis (S), and the second growth (G2) phases (figure 1). The growth phases are, as you may have suspected, for the growth of the cell, during the synthesis phase the DNA replication occurs in preparation for the second growth phase.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cell cycle is the name we give the process through which cells replicate and make two new cells. Cell cycle has different stages called G1, S, G2, and M. G1 is the stage where the cell is preparing to divide. To do this, it then moves into the S phase where the cell copies all the DNA.
