Prophase
Strictly speaking, the chromosomes are not copied during mitosis but already before cell division takes place. This phase is called INTERPHASE and is again divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap). The replication of chromosomes only happens in the S phase.
No, interphase is part of the cell cycle and has nothing to do with mitosis, where the nucleus divides.
The metaphase of mitosis typically takes the longest time period compared to other phases. This is because it involves aligning the duplicated chromosomes along the center of the cell before they are separated into two daughter cells during anaphase.
The stage of mitosis that takes the longest time to complete is typically prophase. During prophase, the cell undergoes several complex changes, such as condensing its chromosomes and breaking down the nuclear membrane. These processes can be time-consuming compared to the other stages of mitosis.
Cell division is complete after cytokinesis in which the cytoplasm is divided and there are two complete cells. A cell may enter a period that they will not divide and may never again which is in the Gap 1 phase. It takes certain enzymes to push the cell into S phase and therefore divide again.

In the S phase of the cell cycle, DNA replication takes place, resulting in the synthesis of identical copies of each chromosome. This is essential for mitosis to occur because each daughter cell needs to receive a complete set of chromosomes. Without the S phase, there would not be enough genetic material to distribute to the daughter cells during mitosis.
It takes place in inter phase. It is the S phase
A complete cardiac cycle.
DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase, which is the phase that precedes mitosis. In this phase, the DNA molecules in the cell's nucleus are duplicated, resulting in two identical copies of each chromosome.
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.
Strictly speaking, the chromosomes are not copied during mitosis but already before cell division takes place. This phase is called INTERPHASE and is again divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap). The replication of chromosomes only happens in the S phase.
Chromosomes are duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs during interphase. This is when DNA replication takes place to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes during cell division.
Gap 2 (G2) phase is a stage in the cell cycle where the cell continues to grow and prepare for division. During this phase, the cell checks for DNA errors and ensures that all proteins and organelles are replicated correctly before moving on to the next stage of division. Once the cell successfully completes G2 phase, it proceeds to mitosis or meiosis.
No, interphase is part of the cell cycle and has nothing to do with mitosis, where the nucleus divides.
Anaphase is typically the phase of mitosis that takes the least amount of time. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell, a process that occurs rapidly to ensure proper chromosome segregation. The quick separation is crucial for maintaining genetic stability in the daughter cells.
