What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication). It ensures that our body grows and repairs itself.

What happens during Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division. It includes the G1, S, and G2 phases.

What occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The M phase is where mitosis and cytokinesis occur, leading to the division of the cell into two daughter cells.

What is the G1 phase?

Back

The G1 phase is the first phase of Interphase where the cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What is the S phase?

Back

The S phase is the phase of Interphase where DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the G2 phase?

Back

The G2 phase is the final phase of Interphase where the cell prepares for mitosis by producing the necessary proteins and organelles.

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell is divided into two daughter cells.
