The cell cycle. It consists of: (i) interphase - G1 = growth and preparation of the chromosomes occurs for replication after G1 checkpoint; S = synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and duplication of the centrosome; G2 = preparation for mitoses of cell size and content after G2 checkpoint. (ii) M = mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase). (iii) Cytokinesis = separation of cell membrane to form two new cells. (iv) G0 = Resting Phase when cell leaves cell cycle temporarily/permanently (Courtesy: http://click4biology.info/)
