Understand that the eukaryotic cell cycle is a series of stages that a cell goes through to grow and divide. These stages are organized into interphase (G1, S, G2) and the mitotic phase (M).
Recall that the G1 phase (Gap 1) is the first stage of interphase, where the cell grows and performs normal functions while preparing for DNA replication.
Next, the S phase (Synthesis) occurs, during which the cell replicates its DNA to ensure that each daughter cell will have a complete set of genetic material.
Following the S phase is the G2 phase (Gap 2), where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by synthesizing proteins and organelles needed for cell division.
Finally, the M phase (Mitotic phase) includes mitosis and cytokinesis, where the cell divides its nucleus and cytoplasm to form two daughter cells. The correct order of the stages is G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, M phase.
