On May 24, 2024


The cell cycle consists of Interphase (consisting of the G1, S, and G2 phases) and the M phase (consisting of mitosis and cytokinesis). In the G1 phase, the cell prepares to duplicate the DNA, in the S phase the DNA is duplicated, and in the G2 phase the cell prepares to divide the chromosomes.
