Based on cell activities readily visible in the light microscope, there are two major cell cycle phases, ________ and __________.
A)M phase, cytokinesis
B)interphase, cytokinesis
C)M phase, C phase
D)M phase, interphase
E)C phase, interphase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two major cell cycle phases visible in the light microscope are the M phase (mitosis) and interphase. Cytokinesis is a separate process that occurs after mitosis during cell division. Option A is incorrect because cytokinesis is not a phase of the cell cycle; it is a separate process that occurs at the end of mitosis. Option B and E are incorrect because interphase is not a phase of cytokinesis; it is a phase of the cell cycle that occurs before mitosis. Option C is incorrect because there is no C phase in the cell cycle.
