Answer:
The correct answer will be G₂ phase.
Explanation:
The cell cycle is divided into two phases: interphase and M-phase where interphase is associated with cell growth while M-phase is associated with the DNA division.
Interphase is categorized into four phases: G₁, S, G₂ and G₀ phase which can be marked easily. G₂ phase occurs after the completion of S phase during which synthesis of DNA or DNA replication takes place.
It is after DNA replication, chromosome starts preparing for M-phase or mitotic phase the pre-requisite of which is a packaged form of DNA in a structure called chromosomes. This chromosome is formed after the condensation of DNA which takes place at the end of G₂ phase and beginning of M-phase.
Thus, G₂ phase is the correct answer.
