Mo4-L4a: What is the Cell Cycle?




                      There are two main phases in the cell cycle — interphase and the mitotic phase.










































                      Key Concept                          Interphase

                    What Is the Cell Cycle?                Interphase occurs in three stages: G1, S, and G2
         What are the two main phases of the cell cycle?




















                                                          The cell’s DNA is copied during the S stage and is
                                                          arranged as pairs of identical chromosomes called
                                                          sister chromatids.

                                                          Sister chromatids are held together by a structure
                                                          called the centromere
