Solution

The actual cell division occurs in eukaryotic cell cycle during what is called the mitotic or M-phase. This phase includes mitosis, which is splitting of the DNA content of a parent cell as well cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division). The remainder of the cell cycle is the phase between two M-phases, termed as interphase. Interphase can be further divided into three successive parts: $G_{1}$ phase, S phase and $G_{2}$ phase. Hence, the correct sequence is:
$G_{1} \Rightarrow S \Rightarrow G_{2} \Rightarrow M$ .
