Question

Which of these phases is absent in Meiosis when compared to Mitosis?

• A. $G_1$ phase
• B. Interphase
• C. S phase
• D. $G_2$ phase

Answer 1

The correct option is D

$G_2$ phase

The $G_2$ phase is absent in meiosis. Right after meiosis I, the cells go into meiosis II whereas in mitosis, the cells have a traditional cell cycle with a $G_1$, S, $G_2$ and M phase.
