Cells that go through mitosis and are part of any body part other than the testes and ovaries.

• Synthesis Phase

• Somatic Cells

• Gametes

• Gap Zero

The time that the cell makes a copy of the DNA in a process called DNA replication.

• Interphase

There are times when the cell needs to stop dividing and it may enter this temporary resting phase.
