The cell cycle splits into two major phases. What are they?

AInterphase and the resting phase
BInterphase and the mitotic phase
CProphase and the mitotic phase
DSynthesis and the mitotic phase
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Interphase and the mitotic phase
1. During the first phase the cell grows and copies its DNA, which is interphase. 2. During the second phase the copies are separated and the cell divides. 3. That second phase is the mitotic phase. 4. Prophase is only one stage inside the mitotic phase, not a phase of the whole cycle. _Source: OpenStax Biology 1e (CC BY 4.0), Chs 10 and 11, section 10.2 The Cell Cycle_
