Question

during which phase of the cell cycle does the cell prepare for mitosis?
s phase
g1 phase
m phase
g2 phase

Explanation:

The G2 phase is part of interphase. In this phase, the cell synthesizes proteins and organelles needed for mitosis, checks DNA integrity, and ensures all preparations are complete before entering mitosis. S - phase is for DNA replication, G1 is for cell growth and normal metabolic activities, and M - phase is mitosis itself.

Answer:

G2 phase
