Which of the following is a correct statement about the events of the cell cycle?(1 point)

Question

Responses

DNA replicates during cytokinesis.
DNA replicates during cytokinesis.

Interphase consists of the G1, S, and G2 phases.
Interphase consists of the G1, S, and G2 phases.

Little happens during the G1 and G2 phases.
Little happens during the G1 and G2 phases.

Mitosis is usually the longest phase.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the events of the cell cycle is:

Interphase consists of the G1, S, and G2 phases.

This statement accurately describes the phases of interphase in the cell cycle.

• DNA replicates during the S phase, not during cytokinesis.
• The G1 and G2 phases involve important cell growth and preparation activities, so it is incorrect to say that "little happens" during these phases.
• Mitosis is generally the shortest phase of the cell cycle, not the longest.
