G₁,G₂,the S Phase,and the M Phase are Phases Of

Question

G₁,G₂,the S phase,and the M phase are phases of
A) the cell cycle.
B) mitosis.
C) protein synthesis.
D) the cell cycle that is specific to cancer cells.

Accepted Answer

G₁, G₂, S phase, and M phase are all phases of the cell cycle, which is the process by which cells grow, replicate their DNA, and divide into two daughter cells. Mitosis is a specific part of the cell cycle, occurring during the M phase, where the duplicated chromosomes are separated into two nuclei. Protein synthesis, while important for cell function, is not directly related to the phases of the cell cycle. The cell cycle is not specific to cancer cells, but rather is a fundamental process that occurs in all cells.
