Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context of cell division, which is a process that cells undergo to divide and produce two daughter cells.
Familiarize yourself with the main phases of the cell cycle: G1 Phase (Gap 1), S Phase (Synthesis), G2 Phase (Gap 2), and M Phase (Mitosis).
Recognize that the G1, S, and G2 phases are collectively known as Interphase, during which the cell prepares for division.
Identify that the M Phase is where mitosis and cytokinesis occur, leading to the actual division of the cell.
Note that 'L Phase' is not a recognized phase in the standard cell cycle, making it the correct answer to the question.
