Phases of Cell Cycle
Asked by Mohan Dr · 2 years ago
What are the main phases of the cell cycle?
1 Answer
The cell cycle consists of two main phases:
1. Interphase: This is further divided into three sub-phases:
a) G1 phase (Gap 1): Cell growth and preparation for DNA synthesis
b) S phase (Synthesis): DNA replication occurs
c) G2 phase (Gap 2): Preparation for cell division
2. M phase (Mitosis): The actual cell division process, which includes:
a) Prophase
b) Metaphase
c) Anaphase
d) Telophase
After mitosis, cytokinesis occurs, dividing the cytoplasm to form two daughter cells.
