During the M (mitosis) stage of the cell cycle, the cell divides into two cells.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

During the M phase (or mitosis), the cell divides into two daughter cells. In this phase, the duplicated DNA is evenly divided into the daughter cells, along with other cellular components, resulting in the formation of two genetically identical cells. The M phase includes several sub-phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. These sub-phases ensure the accurate distribution of genetic material to the daughter cells. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is M.
