ABSTRACT
The cell cycle Cell division occurs in stages: interphase G1 – cell enlarges, nucleus migrates to center, protein synthesis; interphase S – DNA replication occurs; interphase G2 – preprophase band and structures of mitosis form, chromosomes condense. In M-phase mitosis, chromosomes replicate and divide to form two daughter nuclei. In M-phase cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides and a cell plate and new cell walls form.
