| 272224580 | 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 | 17 | |
| 272224584 | DNA synthesis (or replication) occurs during this phase. At the beginning of the phase, each chromosome is single. At the end, after DNA replication, each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids. | S Phase | 18 | |
| 272224585 | 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 | 19 | |
| 272224587 | This is when division of the nucleus occurs. The chromosomes that have been replicated are distributed to two daughter nuclei. | Mitosis | 20 | |
| 272224594 | This third subphase of interphase is a period of metabolic activity and growth. During this phase the cell makes final preparations for division. | G2 Phase | 21 | |
| 272224595 | 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 Phase | 22 | |
| 272224596 | This is the step in the cell cycle when the cytoplasm divides in two. | Cytokinesis | 23 | |
