The Cell Cycle has three major phases: Interphase, the Mitotic phase and Cytokinesis
- Interphase = the cell grows and DNA is replicated (prepares to divide)
- Mitosis = cell division occurs via prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
- Cytokinesis = the parent and replicated organelles move to opposite poles of the cell and the cytoplasm divides resulting in two daughter cells.
Processes that take place during Interphase
Divided into three growth stages:
G1- the cell grows
S- DNA synthesis occurs
G2- cell grows more, before mitotic phase begins (produces any more molecules it needs to divide)
