★ Must-know
📌 The cell cycle consists of interphase, which prepares the cell for division, and M phase, during which mitosis and usually cytokinesis occur.
Further detail
G1 growth → S synthesis → G2 preparation → M division
1. Which sequence best describes the cell cycle?
2. Which statement correctly distinguishes interphase from M phase?
3. A cell has completed DNA replication and is synthesizing proteins needed for mitosis. Which phase is it in?
What is the cell cycle?
The sequence of events where a cell duplicates its genome, synthesizes constituents, and divides.
How long does a typical human cell take to complete its cell cycle?
Approximately 24 hours.
How long does yeast take to complete its cell cycle?
About 90 minutes.
What are the two main phases of the cell cycle?
Interphase and M phase.
What happens during interphase in the cell cycle?
The cell prepares for division.
What occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle?
Mitosis and usually cytokinesis occur.
