The cell cycle is a series of phases that a cell goes through as it grows and divides. It consists of interphase and the mitotic phase.
Interphase is divided into three phases: G1, S, and G2. The G1 phase is the first phase of the cell cycle.
During the G1 phase, the cell grows in size and synthesizes mRNA and proteins that are required for DNA synthesis.
The S phase follows the G1 phase, where DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of the cell's genetic material.
After the S phase, the cell enters the G2 phase, where it continues to grow and prepares for mitosis, the division of the cell's nucleus.
