Question

While reading their biology textbook, students found a table that describes the different phases of the cell cycle. The table summarizes the key events in each phase. Match each summary with the correct phase.

Select the correct answer in each row.

Summary

Interphase

Mitosis

Cytokinesis

The cell grows, performs normal functions, and replicates DNA


The cytoplasm divides to form two separate daughter cells


The cell progresses through the G1, S, and G2 phases


This stage ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of DNA


The nucleus divides, and chromosomes are separated
