During the synthesis stage (S phase) of mitosis, a cell replicates its DNA, ensuring that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes. This process involves the unwinding of the double helix and the synthesis of new complementary strands by DNA polymerase. Additionally, the cell begins to produce proteins and organelles necessary for cell division, preparing for the subsequent phases of mitosis.
There is Gap1 (G1 stage) where the cell is when it's not dividing. Then Synthesis (S stage) where the cell's DNA is duplicated. After that you have Gap 2 (G2 stage) where the cell gets ready to divide. Then the cell divides in mitosis. It ends with cytokinese where the cytoplasm splits and the plasma membrane disconnects.
The stage of the cell cycle during which the nucleus divides is called mitosis. Mitosis is part of the M phase of the cell cycle and involves the separation of the duplicated DNA into two identical sets, resulting in two daughter nuclei.
It is called Mitosis but the certain stage of it is Telophase.
Complete sets of chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase stage of mitosis. At this stage, the chromosomes are lined up along the metaphase plate in the center of the cell, ready to be separated into two daughter cells during anaphase.
No, a cell is not the largest during anaphase. During anaphase of mitosis, the sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell, but the overall size of the cell does not significantly increase at this stage. The cell typically reaches its maximum size during the interphase stage, particularly in the G2 phase, before mitosis begins.
The cell cycle has four main parts. Growth 1, Synthesis, Growth 2, and Mitosis. If a cell is about to start mitosis, that means it has passed through the first 2 stages and is in Growth 2. Each stage has checkpoints to make sure the previous stage is completed, so all those conditions like proper nutrients, appropriate division signal, completed DNA synthesis, and large enough size are met when the cell is about to enter mitosis.

Nucleoli are present in the nucleus of a cell during interphase, which is the phase of the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing. Nucleoli are involved in the assembly of ribosomes, which are important for protein synthesis within the cell.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.
G2 phase stands for Gap 2 phase. The G2 phase occurs in the cell cycle of a cell undergoing mitosis. During this phase, which occurs between DNA synthesis and the start of mitosis, cell growth occurs while awaiting mitotic split of the cell.

A cell plate is a structure that forms during cytokinesis in plant cells. It consists of vesicles containing cell wall material that fuse together to form a dividing wall between the two daughter cells. The cell plate forms during the telophase stage of mitosis.
The break in the cell cycle between the end of mitosis and the beginning of the DNA synthesis stage is marked by the G1 phase (Gap 1 phase). During G1 phase, the cell prepares for DNA replication by synthesizing new proteins and organelles. Once the cell passes the restriction point in G1 phase, it commits to proceed through the cell cycle.
DNA replication occurs during the S or synthesis stage of interphase.
New nuclear envelopes form during the telophase stage of mitosis. This stage occurs after the chromosomes have moved to opposite poles of the cell and the nuclear envelope helps to reorganize the genetic material within the cell.
