Mitosis Flashcards
G1 Phase of Interphase
The period prior to the synthesis of DNA.
the cell increases in mass in preparation for cell division.
the G in G1 represents gap and the 1 represents first so the G1 phase is the first gap phase.
S phase of Interphase
The period during which DNA is synthesized.
there is a narrow window of time during which DNA is synthesized.
S represents synthesis.
G2 phase of Interphase
The period after DNA synthesis has occurred but prior to the start of prophase.
synthesizes proteins and continues to increase in size. G in G2 represents gap and the 2 represents second, so the G2 phase is the second gap phase.
