What phase is described below? This is the portion of the cell cycle just after division, but before DNA synthesis. During this time the cell grows by producing proteins and organelles.
G1
What phase is described below? This third subphase of interphase is a period of metabolic activity and growth. During this phase the cell makes final preparations for division.
G2
What phase is described below? Typically, this phase accounts for 90% of the cell cycle. It is a time of high metabolic activity. The cell grows by producing proteins and organelles, and chromosomes are replicated.
Interphase
What phase is described below? This is when division of the nucleus occurs. The chromosomes that have been replicated are distributed to two daughter nuclei.
Mitosis
What phase is described below? Cell division occurs during this short phase, which generally involves two discrete processes: the contents of the nucleus (mainly the duplicated chromosomes) are evenly distributed to two daughter nuclei, and the cytoplasm divides in two.
Mitotic Phase (M)
