Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis is the phase of the cell cycle where the nucleus divides and maintains the chromosome number.

Note: Cytokinesis is the phase where the cytoplasm divides and separates the two daughter cells. G1 is the phase where the cell grows and carries out its normal functions. S is the phase where DNA synthesis occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes. G2 is the phase where the cell prepares for mitosis by synthesizing various proteins and organelles.
