1
Q
What stages of Interphase does a cell go through?
A
G1 (gap phase) S phase (synthesis phase, and G2 phase
2
Q
What happens in S Phase (synthesis phase?)
A
DNA replication.
Longest stage of cell cycle
3
Q
What occurs in the G2 phase?
A
Increase in protein synthesis to prepare to divide. Increased growth. MPF create proteins to initiate mitosis
