Question

Mitosis phase (M phase) of cell cycle includes

• A. G${}_1$, S and G${}_2$ phases
• B. prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
• C. interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
• D. karyokinesis and cytokinesis

Answer 1

The correct option is D karyokinesis and cytokinesis

Cell cycle includes interphase and M phase.

During interphase, the cell undergoes preparations to divide. Interphase includes G${}_1$, S and G${}_2$ phases.

The cell undergoes division in M phase. M phase includes karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

During karyokinesis, there is division of nucleus. Karyokinesis includes four phases - prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides and two daughter cells are formed.
