Question

cell cycle and mitosis review worksheet
1- what are the stages of the cell cycle?

Explanation:

The cell cycle is divided into two main phases: interphase (the growth and preparation phase) and the mitotic (M) phase (cell division). Interphase is further split into three sub-stages, and the M phase includes mitosis (with its own sub-stages) and cytokinesis.

Answer:

The stages of the cell cycle are:

1. Interphase (composed of G₁ phase: cell growth, S phase: DNA replication, G₂ phase: final growth and preparation for division)
2. Mitotic (M) phase (composed of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase; and cytokinesis: division of the cytoplasm to form two daughter cells)
