Study Notes
Cell Cycle Phases
- Mitosis occurs during the M phase, which is the stage of actual cell division.
- The interval between mitosis and the initiation of DNA replication is known as the G1 phase or Gap 1 phase.
Duration of Cell Cycle
- The average duration of the cell cycle for human cells in culture is approximately 24 hours.
Preparation for Division
- The time during which the cell prepares for division, including cell growth and DNA replication, is referred to as the S phase or Synthesis phase.
Interphase Duration
- Interphase, which consists of G1, S, and G2 phases, lasts for about 90% of the duration of the cell cycle in human cells.
