The cell cycle represents the coordinated sequence of events in the life of a cell from its formation to its division into two daughter cells. most of the key events of the cell cycle are restricted to a specific time within the cycle. in this exercise, you will identify when various events occur during the cell cycle. recall that interphase consists of the g1, s, and g2 subphases, and that the m phase consists of mitosis and cytokinesis. drag each label to the appropriate target.

Final answer:

The cell cycle includes interphase (G1, S, G2 phases) for cell growth and preparation, and the mitotic phase, where the cell undergoes mitosis and cytokinesis to produce two daughter cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cell Cycle Phases and Events

The cell cycle is essential for the growth and reproduction of eukaryotic cells. It consists of two main phases: interphase and the mitotic phase (M phase). Interphase prepares the cell for division and is subdivided into G1, S, and G2 phases. During the G1 phase, the cell grows and carries out its normal functions. The S phase is critical for the cell cycle as it is when DNA replication occurs. The G2 phase is another growth phase where the cell prepares for mitosis. The mitotic phase includes mitosis, which is divided into prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and is completed by cytokinesis, in which the cell divides into two daughter cells.
