Understand the cell cycle: The cell cycle is a series of phases that cells go through as they grow and divide. It consists of interphase (G1, S, G2) and the mitotic phase (M).
Identify the phases of interphase: Interphase is the period of the cell cycle during which the cell is not dividing. It includes three stages: G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), and G2 (Gap 2).
Describe each phase: G1 is the first gap phase where the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication. S is the synthesis phase where DNA replication occurs. G2 is the second gap phase where the cell prepares for mitosis.
Recognize the mitotic phase: M phase is where mitosis occurs, leading to cell division. It follows the G2 phase and completes the cell cycle.
Sequence the phases correctly: The correct order of the cell cycle stages is G1, S, G2, M, which reflects the progression from cell growth to DNA replication, preparation for mitosis, and finally cell division.
