CHECKPOINT #2.7: Cell Cycle & Mitosis

Imagine you are observing a cell under a microscope. The two stages you see that are not part of mitosis but are part of the cell cycle are:

• a. Prophase and Interphase

• b. Interphase and Metaphase

• c. Interphase and Cytokinesis

• d. Cytokinesis and Anaphase

A group of scientists are studying the life cycle of a cell in a lab. They noticed that the cell spends most of its time in the (a)   .
