Which phase of the cell cycle comes before the prophase stage of mitosis? (1) Anaphase

(2) First gap

(3) Synthesis

(4) Second gap

Option (4) Second gap, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

G2 phase is the third phase of inter-phase. Second gap is also called G2 phase. It is a phase of the cell cycle which comes before the prophase stage of mitosis. In this phase, proteins are synthesized by the cell and increase occurs in the size of protein. In this phase, cell size is also increased and the cell is ready for mitosis.
