Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of interphase (G1, S, G2) followed by mitosis and cytokinesis. Meiosis and fertilization are involved in sexual reproduction but are not part of the complete eukaryotic cell cycle. The phases of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) are part of the mitotic stage of the cell cycle, which follows interphase.
