Question

The cell cycle of a typical somatic cell consists of the ____ and M phases.
A) interphase
B) meiosis I
C) crossing-over
D) meiosis II
E) mitosis

Accepted Answer

The cell cycle of a typical somatic cell consists of the interphase and M phases, where interphase prepares the cell for division and M phase is where cell division occurs. Meiosis I, crossing-over, and meiosis II are processes related to sexual reproduction and the formation of gametes, not typical somatic cell division.
