What is the process called by which a cell duplicates its genome, synthesizes other constituents, and divides into two daughter cells?
Cell cycle
Which process involves the division of a cell into two daughter cells, each containing an intact genome?
Mitosis
What are the characteristics of cells and all living organisms?
Growth and reproduction
What ensures correct division and formation of progeny cells containing intact genomes?
Coordinated processes
What allows a single cell to form a structure consisting of millions of cells?
Cell cycle
Which process involves all these events: cell division, DNA replication, and cell growth, in a coordinated way?
Cell cycle
During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA synthesis take place?
S phase
What represents the phase when the actual cell division or mitosis occurs?
M phase
At which point does the cell prepare for division by undergoing both cell growth and DNA replication?
G1 phase
Which phase corresponds to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication?
G1 phase
In which phase do proteins get synthesized in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues?
G2 phase
What occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle?
Initiation of DNA replication
When does the M Phase of the cell cycle start?
After G2 phase
What happens during the interphase of the cell cycle?
Metabolic activity, cell growth, and DNA replication
What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?
It involves DNA synthesis or replication
What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?
It is the phase where cell growth and DNA replication occur simultaneously
When does the M Phase of the cell cycle start?
After the G2 phase
What represents the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication in the cell cycle?
G2 phase
During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA synthesis take place?
S phase
What occurs during the interphase of the cell cycle?
DNA replication and normal cell processes
What ensures correct division and formation of progeny cells containing intact genomes?
Coordination of cell division, DNA replication, and cell growth
What is the duration of the cell cycle for human cells in culture?
24 hours
During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication take place?
S phase
What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

What does the S or synthesis phase mark in the cell cycle?
The period when DNA synthesis takes place
What represents the phase when the actual cell division or mitosis occurs?
M phase
