Why I am suggesting this? Well! Yes you can have certain questions from the topic that I am going to discuss here.<\/p>\n<p>The topic is <strong>cell cycle<\/strong> &amp; the steps involved in it. You need to learn each &amp; every line very carefully as its really very important.<\/p>\n<p>In cell division, basically copying of all cellular material &amp; then cleavage of that material (with cell) occurs. This whole story of division is covered under cell cycle. Didn\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t get me? Ok! During the process of cell division externally, process of cell cycle also goes on.<\/p>\n<p>This story of cell cycle occurs in 4 phase\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s viz. <strong>G1, S, G2 &amp; M <\/strong>phase.<\/p>\n<p>G1, S &amp; G2 phase comes under interphase. M phase is basically mitosis phase (Fig A). Copying of required cellular components occur during interphase. Complete cell division occurs during M phase. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0In simple words, you may say that interphase is a kind of check point which decides whether a cell can move into M phase or not. M phase is also divided into sub parts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cell cycle is a continuous process. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.askiitians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/cell-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9506 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.askiitians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/cell-1.jpg\" alt=\"cell-1\" width=\"626\" height=\"90\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s talk about <strong>interphase<\/strong> first.<\/p>\n<p><strong>G1 phase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>G1 is an intermediate phase occupying the time between the end of cell division in mitosis and the beginning of DNA replication during S phase. During this time, the cell grows in preparation for DNA replication, and certain intracellular components, such as the centrosomes undergo replication. Before cell begins DNA replication, it must ensure that it is biologically ready to take on such a process. G1 is the phase when this cellular monitoring takes place.<\/p>\n<p>Conditions are made suitable for DNA synthesis in this phase. In case cell is not ready to undergo DNA synthesis, it enters into one more phase which is G0 phase. Once cell is in appropriate condition to undergo DNA synthesis, it enters into next phase i.e. S phase. Cell can enter into S phase either from G1 phase or G0 phase. G0 phase can past for days, weeks or even years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>S phase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is basically the <strong>synthetic phase<\/strong>. DNA which is packaged into chromosome is replicated. In simple words, genetic material is doubled with identical gene setup. Doubled chromosome now enters into G2 phase.<\/p>\n<p><strong>G2 phase<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This phase of interphase is basically present between the end of DNA replication &amp; just before the starting of cell division. It is considered as a safety gap or check point to ensure the duplication of entire genetic material &amp; all the organelle of the cell.<\/p>\n<p>You may also call G2 phase as a final chance of it to grow before its division &amp; forming two independent bodies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.askiitians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/cell-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9504 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.askiitians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/cell-2.jpg\" alt=\"cell-2\" width=\"562\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>M Phase \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This phase causes cell division &amp; it lasts for about one hour. \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0The replicated chromosome align themselves to \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00cb\u0153mitotic apparatus&#8217; &amp; here sister chromatids get separated from each other.
