  4. M phase

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

During which phase do cells prepare for mitosis?
  • Step 1: Understand that cells go through a cycle called the cell cycle.
  • Step 2: Identify the phases of the cell cycle, which include G1, S, G2, and M phases.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the G2 phase comes after the S phase, where DNA is replicated.
  • Step 4: Learn that during the G2 phase, the cell checks that all DNA is copied correctly.
  • Step 5: Know that the cell also prepares other structures needed for mitosis during the G2 phase.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the G2 phase is essential for ensuring the cell is ready to divide in mitosis.
  • Cell Cycle Phases – Understanding the different phases of the cell cycle, particularly G2, which is crucial for preparing the cell for mitosis.
  • Mitosis Preparation – Recognizing the specific activities that occur during the G2 phase, such as DNA replication and organelle duplication.
