G1 Phase: The cell grows and carries out normal functions. It also prepares for DNA replication.
S Phase: DNA replication occurs, resulting in two sets of chromosomes.
G2 Phase: The cell continues to grow and prepares for mitosis. It checks for DNA errors and begins forming the necessary components for cell division.
M Phase (Mitosis): The cell divides its copied DNA and cytoplasm to form two new cells. This includes prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, followed by cytokinesis.
Cell growth and cell division work together to ensure that each daughter cell receives the correct amount of DNA and cellular components, maintaining proper function and size.
