Responses

S phase
S phase

Prophase
Prophase

G1
G1

G2

Answer 1

The cell is most likely in the **G2 phase** of the cell cycle. During the G2 phase, the cell has completed DNA replication and is preparing for mitosis (the division process). The S phase is the phase of DNA replication itself, while G1 is the phase before DNA synthesis. Prophase is part of mitosis, which occurs after the G2 phase.
