The cell prepares to divide, during which the cell grows larger and replicates its organellesThe cell makes a copy of its DNA (genetic material).Two copies of DNA (along with organelles and cytoplasm) are split into two "daughter" cells and the cell divides.The genetic material is prepared for division and the proteins needed for cell division are made.

Answer 1

The cell cycle consists of several key phases. Based on the descriptions provided, here are the correct steps of the cell cycle:

1. The cell prepares to divide, during which the cell grows larger and replicates its organelles. (This corresponds to the G1 phase of interphase.)

2. The cell makes a copy of its DNA (genetic material). (This corresponds to the S phase of interphase.)

3. The genetic material is prepared for division and the proteins needed for cell division are made. (This corresponds to the G2 phase of interphase.)

4. Two copies of DNA (along with organelles and cytoplasm) are split into two "daughter" cells and the cell divides. (This corresponds to the M phase, or mitosis, followed by cytokinesis.)

Thus, the order of the steps is as follows:

1. G1 phase: The cell prepares to divide, during which the cell grows larger and replicates its organelles.
2. S phase: The cell makes a copy of its DNA (genetic material).
3. G2 phase: The genetic material is prepared for division and the proteins needed for cell division are made.
4. M phase: Two copies of DNA (along with organelles and cytoplasm) are split into two "daughter" cells and the cell divides.
