Study Notes
Cell Cycle Stages
- The stage of the cell cycle responsible for DNA synthesis is Interphase, specifically the S phase (Synthesis phase).
- A cell spends most of its time in Interphase, where it grows, replicates its DNA, and prepares for cell division.
- The resulting cells after cell division are called daughter cells.
- The stage of the cell cycle responsible for preparing the cell to divide is G2 phase (Gap 2 phase), where the cell prepares for mitosis.
- The process through which cells replicate and make two new cells is called Mitosis.
