Question

What important events occur in the cell cycle during interphase?

Answer 1

IMPORTANT EVENTS  IN THE CELL CYCLE DURING INTERPHASE

• The cell cycle consists two main phases: interphase and mitotic phase (M-phase).
• Interphase: is the longest phase of cell cycle, overall takes 16 hours for a growing mammalian cell.
• It consists three stages:

1. G1 (Gap-1) phase: It is presynthesis stage, in which cell prepares for DNA replication, which takes 5 hours. Due to which chromosomes are replicated.
2. S (synthetic) phase: It is synthetic phase, in which DNA replication takes place. This phase over in 7 hours.
3. G2 (Gap-2) phase: It is post synthetic stage, where cell gets ready for cell division or else we can say for Mitotic phase. This phase completes in 3 hours
