Cell division occurs during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. Specifically, it occurs during the M phase, which includes mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis involves the division of the cell's nucleus, while cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate daughter cells.
Cell division occurs during the M phase, also known as the mitotic phase or cell division phase, of the cell cycle. The M phase is preceded by the interphase, which consists of three stages: G1 phase (first gap phase), S phase (synthesis phase), and G2 phase (second gap phase). After completing the interphase, the cell enters the M phase, where it undergoes nuclear division (mitosis) followed by cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis).
