Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle, occurring before mitosis and cytokinesis.
Learn that interphase is divided into three subphases: G1 (Gap 1), S (Synthesis), and G2 (Gap 2).
During the G1 phase, the cell grows and performs its normal functions, preparing for DNA replication.
In the S phase, DNA replication occurs, ensuring that each daughter cell will have a complete set of genetic material.
During the G2 phase, the cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis by synthesizing proteins and organelles needed for cell division.
