Explain the events of all stages of the cell cycle.
There are four parts of the cell cycle:
G₁- “first gap”: growth period, first part of interphase.
S - synthesis: DNA is copied, chromosomes duplicate
G₂ - “second gap”: growth period AFTER DNA has duplicated, second part of interphase
M - Mitosis and Cytokinesis: distribution of genetic material and cytoplasm to form two daughter cells. [See "Stages of Mitosis" under Ch 12 & 13 for more information on Mitosis]
A cell spends most of its life growing in interphase, and only a short amount of time in mitosis.
