Jackson is getting ready for a big presentation at school. In which phase of his preparation does he review all his materials and make final adjustments?

• G1

• S

• G2

• mitosis/cytokinesis

Answer explanation

The G2 phase is when the cell prepares for division by producing proteins and organelles needed for mitosis. It follows the S phase, where DNA is replicated, making G2 crucial for ensuring the cell is ready to divide.
