Which one of the following stage preceeds mitosis during cell cycle?
Correct answer: C. G2 phase
- A. G1 phase
- B. S phase
- C. G2 phase
- D. M phase
Explanation
The G2 phase directly precedes the M phase in the cell cycle and allows the cell to prepare for mitosis after DNA replication has occurred in S phase. G1 occurs before S phase, whereas M phase is mitosis itself. Students may choose S phase because DNA replication is essential before mitosis, but G2 is the immediate preceding stage.
