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.
