Front

During what phase of the cell cycle does cell division occur?

Back

M phase

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division and grows.

Front

What are the three stages of Interphase?

Back

G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase.

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 phase where the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis.
