Answer AND Explanation:

Note: You will find the chromosome drawing in the attached file

The cellular cycle is the process of cellular duplication to result in two new cells. This process has different phases called G1, S, G2, and M.

In the G1 phase, the cell prepares to divide, duplicating the organelles, and growing in size.

During the S phase, the cell synthesizes a new copy of its DNA and also duplicates the centrosomes, which will help to separate DNI during division.

When the DNI is duplicated, the cell enters phase G2, condensing, and organizing the genetic material and preparing to cellular division.

The M phase belongs to mitosis, by which two daughter cells are formed.

The phases G1, S, and G2 are known as the interphase.
