Understand that the cell cycle is a series of phases that a cell goes through as it grows and divides.
The main stages of the cell cycle are: G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), G2 (Gap 2), and M (Mitosis).
In the G1 phase, the cell grows and performs its normal functions. This is the first stage after cell division.
During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of the cell's genetic material.
The G2 phase is a second gap phase where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis, followed by the M phase where mitosis and cytokinesis occur, leading to cell division.
