Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell division, which includes mitosis or meiosis, occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle. The M phase is not the same as interphase (A), during which the cell grows and prepares for cell division. Cells can enter G₀ phase after completing the cell cycle, which is a non-proliferative phase (B). Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase do not occur during G₁ phase (D), but they occur during mitosis in the M phase.
