Verified
Which of the following events occurs in both the G₁ and the G₂ phases?
A) Mitosis
B) DNA replication
C) Cytokinesis
D) Spindle apparatus formation
E) Cell growth
G₁ Phase
The first phase of the cell cycle in which the cell grows and prepares DNA synthesis.
G₂ Phase
The phase in the cell cycle that follows DNA synthesis (S phase) and precedes mitosis (M phase); it is a period of growth and preparation for cell division.
Mitosis
A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.
- Comprehend the segments of interphase and their unique functions.
- Identify alterations in cellular structure and function across different phases of the cell cycle.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Both G₁ and G₂ are phases of cell growth, where the cell increases in size and synthesizes necessary proteins and organelles for the next phase of the cell cycle. Mitosis, DNA replication, cytokinesis, and spindle apparatus formation occur in specific phases of the cell cycle, but not in both G₁ and G₂.
