Answer 1

The cell cycle consists of an alternation between mitotic (M) phase which appears as a period of dramatic activity under the microscope, and a preparative period called interphase which consists of three phases called G1, S, and G2.

Interphase- the cell growth and coping of its DNA
Mitotic (M) phase- the separation of DNA and division of the cytoplasm-formation of two new cells.
