PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division occurs during M phase, which consists of nuclear division (mitosis) followed by cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). The DNA is replicated in the preceding S phase; the two copies of each replicated chromosome (called sister chromatids) remain glued together by cohesins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The M phase of the cycle corresponds to mitosis, which is usually followed by cytokinesis. This phase is followed by the G1 phase (gap 1), which corresponds to the interval (gap) between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis, or M phase, is the period of actual nuclear and cell division during which the duplicated chromosomes are divided equally between two progeny cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prophase is the first stage in mitosis, occurring after the conclusion of the G2 portion of interphase. During prophase, the parent cell chromosomes-which were duplicated during S phase-condense and become thousands of times more compact than they were during interphase.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis, or the M phase, involves nuclear division and cytokinesis, where two identical daughter cells are produced. Mitosis involves prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Finally, cytokinesis leads to cell division.
