What are the two main phases of the cell cycle? A. Prophase and anaphase B. Interphase and mitosis C. Replication phase and recombination phase D. Multiplication phase and division phase
The correct option is B: Interphase and mitosis. The two major phases of cell division are interphase and mitotic phase.
EXPLANATION:
The cell-division or cell cycle cycle is a series of events that lead to cell growth and cell division. Interphase is the phase that leads to cell growth.
Mitotic phase is the one that leads to cell division where DNA is replicated and division of cell organelles takes place to produce two daughter cells.
