Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are the main stages of the cell cycle? Select 3
A
Interphase
B
Meiosis
C
Mitosis
D
Cytokinesis
E
Organism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The different phases of a cell cycle include: Interphase – This phase includes the G1 phase, S phase and the G2 phase. M phase – This is the mitotic phase and is divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Cytokinesis – In this phase the cytoplasm of the cell divides.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell cycle of a eukaryotic cell has three stages: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, cytokinesis can be considered to occur in four stages-initiation, contraction, membrane insertion, and completion.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase. A ring of protein filaments called the contractile ring forms around the equator of the cell just beneath the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is the final physical cell division that follows telophase, and is therefore sometimes considered a sixth phase of mitosis.
