Cell Cycle and Cell Division — Chapter Summary

The cell cycle is the ordered

The cell cycle is the ordered sequence in which a cell grows, replicates its DNA, and divides into two daughter cells. Human cells in culture divide o

Interphase is the phase between two

Interphase is the phase between two successive M phases. It lasts more than 95% of the cell cycle and includes G1, S, and G2 phases. The cell grows, r

G1 phase is the interval between

G1 phase is the interval between mitosis and the start of DNA replication. The cell grows continuously and performs normal metabolism, but DNA is not

S phase is the synthesis phase

S phase is the synthesis phase during which DNA replication occurs. DNA content doubles from 2C to 4C without any change in chromosome number. In anim

G2 phase is the stage

G2 phase is the stage in which proteins are synthesised for mitosis while cell growth continues.
