Cell division occurs during the mitotic stage of the cell cycle. Specifically, it occurs during the M phase, which is preceded by the S (synthesis) phase where DNA replication occurs.
The cell division occurs during the M phase (mitotic phase) of the cell cycle. The M phase consists of two main processes: mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the division of the cell's nucleus, which includes four distinct stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, which occurs after mitosis and completes the cell division.
