What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the G1 phase, the cell grows and carries out normal functions.

Front

What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?

Back

During the S phase, DNA replication occurs, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the longest stage of the cell cycle, consisting of G1, S, and G2 phases.

Front
