Detailed explanation-1: -A cell cycle is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides. A cell spends most of its time in what is called interphase, and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its division.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cell Cycle. The cell cycle is a repeating series of events that includes growth, DNA synthesis, and cell division. The eukaryotic cell spends most of its “life” in interphase of the cell cycle, which can be subdivided into the three phases, G1, S and G2.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Cell Cycle. The cell cycle is a series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide. During the cell cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter cells, each of which then begins the cycle again. The Cell Cycle is broken down into 4 distinct phases: G1, S, G2, and M phase.

Detailed explanation-4: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is the final physical cell division that follows telophase, and is therefore sometimes considered a sixth phase of mitosis.
