Flashcards

G1 Phase

The phase of the cell cycle during which the cell grows and prepares for DNA replication.

S Phase

The phase of the cell cycle in which the cell's DNA is replicated.

G2 Phase

The phase of the cell cycle following DNA replication, where the cell prepares for division.

DNA Replication

The process of copying the entire DNA molecule to create two identical copies.

Mitosis

A phase of the cell cycle where the nucleus divides into two identical nuclei, creating two daughter cells. This process involves chromosome condensation, alignment, and separation.
