M phase means mitosis phase right???

Question

M phase means mitosis phase right???

Answer 1

Hiya. M phase can stand for mitosis when you are talking about the larger cell cycle. It goes like this: G1 phase (gap 1), then to S phase (synethesis- DNA is replicated), then to G2 phase (gap 2), and finally to M phase (mitosis). This is the complete cycle of a cell. If you are talking about M phase inside of Mitosis, it goes like this: IPMAT- Interphase (the resting period between cell divisions), Prophase (the cell is condensing its chromosomes), Metaphase ( the chromosomes line up at the midbody of the cell), Anaphase (the chromosomes begin to migrate toward the poles of the cell or toward the centrosomes) and finally, Telophase (Cytokinesis occurs to divide the cell into two daughter cells). So M phase could be Mitosis in the cell cycle or could be Metaphase inside mitosis. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

M Phase Mitosis

Answer 3

im only in 7th grade but i think m phase is metaphase in mitosis

Answer 4

The cell cycle is divided into stages: Interphase: S phase-DNA replicates

Answer 5

listen to the 7th grader
Metaphase

Answer 6

yes, that is right.
