G2 phase of interphase
D
G1 phase of interphase
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the overall structure of the cell cycle, which consists of interphase and the M phase (mitosis). Interphase includes G1, S, and G2 phases.
Recall that DNA replication, or chromosome duplication, occurs during the S phase (synthesis phase) of interphase, where the cell synthesizes a complete copy of its DNA.
Recognize that the G1 phase is primarily for cell growth and preparation for DNA synthesis, but DNA is not duplicated here.
Know that the G2 phase is for further growth and preparation for mitosis, but DNA replication has already been completed by this point.
Confirm that the M phase (mitosis) is when the duplicated chromosomes are separated into two daughter cells, not when DNA is replicated.
