Front

What happens during the G1 phase?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What occurs during the S phase?

Back

DNA replication takes place, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.

Front

What is the G2 phase?

Back

The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis, checking for DNA damage.
