Which phase comes immediately before the M phase?

Answer 1

Interphase

Answer 2

Cell growth and protein production stop at this stage in the cell cycle. All of the cell's energy is focused on the complex and orderly division into two similar daughter cells. Mitosis is much shorter than interphase, lasting perhaps only one to two hours. As in both G1 and G2, there is a Checkpoint in the middle of mitosis (Metaphase Checkpoint) that ensures the cell is ready to complete cell division.

Answer 3

Immediately after the M phase comes interphase, the first stage of which is the first growth stage (G1).

The M phase is the stage at which the cell divides, either by mitosis or by meiosis. By the end of the M phase the necessary conditions for interphase have been restored: during telophase, the last stage of division, the chromosomes extend and the nuclear membrane is reassembled.

In the G1 stage the cell grows in size. Among other processes, this requires activation of the relevant genes, transcription, translation, and the coiling and folding of the newly-synthesized polypeptide chains to form proteins.

Answer 4

Interphase (resting - normal cell function)

early Prophase

Late prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

then back to interphase.

Answer 5

cell growth stops & energy is utilized during division of it into two daughter cells.

Answer 6

The G2 phase comes immediately before the M phase in the cell cycle. During the G2 phase, the cell prepares for mitosis by synthesizing proteins and organelles needed for cell division.

Answer 7

Nuclear division by mitosis or meiosis

Answer 8

G2 phase
