Question: 1 / 400

What does the cell cycle begin with?

DNA replication

Cytokinesis

Interphase

The cell cycle begins with interphase, which is a stage that occurs before mitosis. During interphase, the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for division. DNA replication (option A) occurs during the S phase of interphase, and cytokinesis (option B) occurs at the end of the cell cycle, after mitosis. Therefore, options A and B are both incorrect. Mitosis (option D) is the process of cell division that occurs after interphase, making it an incorrect answer as well.
