Botany - Cell Cycle and Cell Division Question with Solution | TestHub

The cell cycle is divided into two basic phases: Interphase and M Phase (Mitosis phase).

Interphase is further divided into three phases:
G1 phase (Gap 1): The cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA.
S phase (Synthesis): DNA replication takes place.
G2 phase (Gap 2): Proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues.

Following interphase, the cell enters the M phase where actual cell division occurs.

Therefore, the correct sequence of the cell cycle phases is G1-S-G2-M.
