Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromosomes are duplicated during the S (synthesis) phase of interphase, which is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell is growing and preparing to divide. Mitosis is the phase of the cell cycle where the duplicated chromosomes are separated and divided into two identical daughter cells. Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that occurs in reproductive cells to produce gametes, and involves two rounds of division to create cells with half the number of chromosomes. Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell cycle, where the cell divides into two daughter cells after mitosis or meiosis.
