What are the different phases of the cell cycle?
The cell cycle begins with interphase (G1,S G2) then follows on to mitosis and ends with cytokinesis.
G1 phase - Protein synthesis and preparation for DNA replication
S phase - DNA replication
G2 phase - Organelle replication. Protein and ATP synthesis. Preparation for mitosis.
Mitosis - multiple stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
Mitosis separates chromatids to create two identical daughter cells.
Cytokinesis - Cytoplasm splits and separates to form to genetically identical cells.
