The cell cycle in eukaryotes is a series of phases and processes that lead the cell to reproduce and divide into two identical daughter cells, which in turn initiate a cycle.
↪ Interphase is the first phase of this cycle, it includes phases G1, S and G2.
➪ In a very concise way:
↪ In the G1 phase the cell grows in size, in the S phase DNA duplication occurs and in the G2 phase there is intense metabolic activity and protein synthesis.
↪ DNA duplication is essential as the two daughter cells will have to have their own DNA, if it wasn't duplicated before division they would only have half of it.
↪ After interphase, duplication occurs, called mitosis. Mitosis, in turn, is divided into several phases that make it possible to separate the DNA from the chromosomes and create two new nuclei, each with its genetic inheritance.
↪ During the last phase of mitosis (telophase) also begins cytodieresis, which is the separation of the cytoplasm and other organelles in the two daughter cells.
↪ At the end of the cell cycle and in particular the process of mitosis, two identical diploid daughter cells are obtained from a mother cell.
