Question

During which phase of the cell cycle does cell division occur?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cell cycle has two major phases: interphase and the mitotic phase (Figure 1). During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated. During the mitotic phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic contents are separated, and the cell divides.

Answer 2

During the Mitotic phase cell division occur.

• During the cell cycle cell grows, replicates its DNA, and divides into two daughter cells.
• The interphase is where the cell is growing and preparing for cell division. This includes three phases G1, S, and G2.
• During the S phase, DNA replication takes place.
• The Mitotic phase consists of 2 stages which are mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the nuclear division while cytokynesis is the cytoplasmic division.
