What are the phases of interphase in the cell cycle?

Before a cell can go through mitosis, or nuclear division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, they must progress through interphase. During the period of interphase, a cell grows and creates proteins needed for division. read more

In eukaryotic cells, or cells with a nucleus, the stages of the cell cycle are divided into two major phases: interphase and the mitotic (M) phase. During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA. read more

In the cell cycle, interphase is preceded by telophase and cytokinesis of the M phase. In alternative fashion, interphase is sometimes interrupted by G 0 phase, which, in some circumstances, may then end and be followed by the remaining stages of interphase. read more

The terms 'Mitosis' and 'Cell Cycle' are not synonymous. The somatic cell cycle is the name given to the series of events that occur as one cell divides into two cells that are genetically identical both to each other and to the parent cell, which then grow to full size. read more
