Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell division occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle. This is when the cell actively divides into two daughter cells through the processes of mitosis (in somatic cells) or meiosis (in germ cells). The other phases (G₁, S, G₂) involve DNA replication and cell growth and preparation for cell division during the M phase. G₀ is a quiescent or dormant phase where the cell is not actively dividing or preparing for division.
