Question

List the 3 events of the cell cycle (not of mitosis).

Answer 1

Cell cycle can be divided into three phases:

1. Resting-G0 phase

· G0- the cell has left the cycle and has stopped dividing.

2. Interphase (G1, S and G2 subphases)

· G1- the cell grows

· S- cell duplicates its DNA

· G2- cell is continuing with preparation

3. Cell division-Mitosis (karyokinesis and cytokinesis)

· Karyokinesis- the cell's chromosomes are divided

· Cytokinesis- the cell's cytoplasm is divided
