CELL DIVISION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
phase of the cell cycle in which the cell makes final preparations to divide.
A
mitosis
B
growth Phase 1
C
growth phase 2
D
tumor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gap 2 (G2): during this phase, the cell makes final preparations to divide. For example, it makes additional proteins and organelles. This phase is sometimes referred to as Growth Phase 2.

Detailed explanation-2: -The second growth phase starts to prepare the cells with newly replicated DNA for entry into the mitosis phase by putting in place the necessary organelles for mitosis. The cell cycle is a vital part of the continued persistence of all eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis (the M phase) The process of mitosis, or cell division, is also known as the M phase. This is where the cell divides its previously-copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new, identical daughter cells. Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. 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.
