Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis is the stage in which the nucleus divides, and cytokinesis is the stage in which the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells. Therefore, option C, "mitosis and cytokinesis" is the correct answer. Option A, "interphase and cytokinesis," is incorrect because interphase is not a stage of cell division; it is the stage in which the cell grows, copies its DNA, and prepares for cell division. Option B, "interphase and mitosis," is incorrect because mitosis is only one of the two stages of cell division, and interphase is not a part of cell division. Option D, "cytokinesis and G₁ phase," is incorrect because there is no such phase called "G₁ phase" in cell division.
