Key concepts students will learn:

  • The cell cycle includes interphase, where the cell grows, and mitosis, where active cell division occurs.

  • During the G1 phase, the cell produces extra organelles and proteins, while in the S phase, DNA replication takes place.

  • Cells that do not divide enter the G0 phase, while cells preparing for mitosis enter the G2 phase to make structures like microtubules.
