To solve this problem, we need to identify the correct sequence of phases in the cell cycle. The cell cycle consists of interphase and the mitotic phase. Let's break down each phase:$\newline \bullet$G$_1$ phase:$\newline$ - This is the first phase of interphase, where the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.$\newline \bullet$S phase:$\newline$ - During this phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes.$\newline \bullet$G$_2$ phase:$\newline$ - This is the second growth phase, where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.$\newline \bullet$M phase (Mitosis):$\newline$ - This phase involves the division of the cell's nucleus and cytoplasm, resulting in two daughter cells.$\newline$The correct sequence of the cell cycle phases is:$\newline$G$_1 \rightarrow$S$\rightarrow$G$_2 \rightarrow$M$\newline$This sequence corresponds to Option 4.
