Question

which stage of the cell cycle involves the division of the cells nucleus?
mitosis
cytokinesis
interphase
replication

Explanation:

• Mitosis is the stage where the cell's nucleus divides. It has several phases (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) that ensure the proper distribution of genetic material (chromosomes) into two new nuclei.
• Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, not the nucleus.
• Interphase is the stage where the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for division. It is not a stage of nuclear division.
• Replication is part of interphase (S - phase) where DNA is copied, not a stage of nuclear division.

Answer:

mitosis
