CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During what phase of the cell cycle does the cell prepare for mitosis?
A
G1 phase
B
S phase
C
G2 phase
D
M phase
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: -So, what happens in G2 of the cell cycle? 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: -A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.
