M stands for mitotic cycle and mitosis and, usually, cytokinesis takes place in this phase.
Edited answer:
M stands for both mitosis as well as meiosis. It denotes the nuclear division taking place mitotically or meiotically.
The shortest stage of the cell cycle is m-phase.
Mitosis
The shortest stage of the cell cycle is m-phase.
M-phase and interphase M-phase and interphase M-phase and interphase M-phase and interphase
Interphase and M phase are two main stages of the cell cycle. Interphase is the phase where the cell grows and prepares for division, while M phase is the phase where the cell actually divides into two daughter cells through mitosis. Interphase is necessary for the cell to replicate its DNA and organelles before entering M phase. In summary, interphase precedes M phase and is essential for the cell to successfully divide.
No, but mitosis is a part [the M-phase] of the Cell cycle.
The cell cycle is divided into interphase and mitosis/ meiosis.
The shortest phase in the cell cycle is the M phase, also known as mitosis, which involves cell division. The longest phase is the interphase, which includes G1 phase (cell growth), S phase (DNA replication), and G2 phase (preparation for cell division). Interphase represents about 90% of the cell cycle.
Mitosis, also called the 'M' phase. actually that answer is incorrect it is actually cytokinesis actually cytokinesis is part of the M phase
Interphase is the longest phase in the cell cycle lasting 18 of the 20 hour cycle. In mitotic cell division cycle,the longest phase is G1 phase which lasts for 10 hours,S phase is for 9 hours,G2 phase for 4 hours and shortest phase is M phase which lasts for 1 hour.
The four parts of the cell cycle are G1 phase (cell growth), S phase (DNA replication), G2 phase (more cell growth), and M phase (mitosis or cell division).
Mitosis and cytokinesis occur during the M phase (mitotic phase) of the cell cycle. This phase is characterized by cell division, where the cell replicates its DNA and divides into two daughter cells.
