Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the cell cycle: The cell cycle consists of several phases that prepare a cell for division. These phases are G1, S, G2, and M.
Learn about the G1 phase: This is the first gap phase where the cell grows and carries out normal functions. It is not primarily focused on preparing for division.
Explore the S phase: During this phase, DNA replication occurs, ensuring that each daughter cell will have a complete set of chromosomes.
Examine the G2 phase: This is the second gap phase where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis. It checks for DNA damage and repairs it, ensuring readiness for division.
Understand the M phase: This is the mitosis phase where the cell actually divides into two daughter cells. Preparation for division is completed before this phase.
