Which of the following stages are part of the cell cycle?

The answer is correct because the cell cycle consists of key stages that include interphase and the mitotic phase. Interphase is the period during which the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for division, encompassing the G1 (gap 1), S (synthesis), and G2 (gap 2) phases. The mitotic phase includes the processes of mitosis and cytokinesis which lead to the actual division of the cell into two daughter cells.

While other choices mention various stages, they don't accurately represent the full cycle. For instance, mentioning meiosis incorporates a different type of cell division not part of the standard cell cycle for somatic cells. Interphase and cytokinesis, while related to the cell cycle, do not capture the complete range of events. The final choice lists the stages of mitosis, which are indeed components of the mitotic phase but do not encompass interphase, thus lacking a holistic view of the entire cell cycle. Therefore, the correct answer accurately captures both critical parts of the cell cycle.
