Detailed explanation-1: -The different phases of a cell cycle include: Interphase – This phase includes the G1 phase, S phase and the G2 phase. M phase – This is the mitotic phase and is divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Cytokinesis – In this phase the cytoplasm of the cell divides.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cell Cycle consists of 3 stages: Interphase-The first stage in which the cell grows, the DNA is made into two copies and more organelles are made. Mitosis-The second stage in which the nucleus divides inside the cell. Cytokinesis-The final stage in which the cell splits into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell cycle is a four-stage process in which the cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage).

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis, or M phase, is the period of actual nuclear and cell division during which the duplicated chromosomes are divided equally between two progeny cells.
