Verified
The cell cycle of a typical somatic cell consists of the ____ and M phases.
A) interphase
B) meiosis I
C) crossing-over
D) meiosis II
E) mitosis
Somatic Cell
In animals, a cell of the body not involved in formation of gametes. Compare with germ line cell.
Interphase
The stage of the cell cycle between successive mitotic divisions; its subdivisions are the G-22 / Glossary phases.
M Phases
The phase in the cell cycle where mitosis and cytokinesis occur, leading to cell division.
- Recognize the control mechanisms of the cell cycle, including the roles of cyclins and Cdks.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The cell cycle of a typical somatic cell consists of the interphase and M phases, where interphase prepares the cell for division and M phase is where cell division occurs. Meiosis I, crossing-over, and meiosis II are processes related to sexual reproduction and the formation of gametes, not typical somatic cell division.
