Botany - Cell Cycle and Cell Division Question with Solution | TestHub

The cell cycle is divided into two phases - Interphase and Mitosis phase or the M phase. The interphase is further divide into 3 phases - Gap 1 or G1 phase, Synthesis phase or S phase and Gap 2 or${\mathrm{G}}_2$phase.${\mathrm{G}}_1$phase is the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication during which the cell is metabolically active and grows but does not replicate. The DNA replication begins in the S phase and the centrioles duplicate in the cytoplasm. In the${\mathrm{G}}_2$phase, proteins are synthesised in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues.
