Understand that the cell cycle consists of interphase and mitotic phase (M phase). Interphase includes G1, S, and G2 phases, where the cell grows and DNA is replicated.
Recognize that during the S phase of interphase, the DNA is duplicated, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.
In the M phase, specifically during mitosis, the cell undergoes a series of steps: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, where the duplicated chromosomes are separated into two nuclei.
Following mitosis, cytokinesis occurs, which is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate cells.
The end result of the cell cycle is two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
