Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Identify the correct order of the phases of Interphase.
A
G2, S, G1
B
G1, S, G2
C
Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
D
G1, G2, S
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The correct order of phases of the cell cycle is G1 → S → G2 → M.

Detailed explanation-3: -The growth and division of a cell is orchestrated into a highly controlled and ordered process called the cell cycle. The cell cycle contains 4 stages; Gap 1 (G1) phase, synthesis (S) phase, gap 2 (G2) phase and mitosis (M) phase.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the correct answer is ‘ G1→S→G2→M’
