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.
- 3
Cells that do not divide enter the G0 phase, while cells preparing for mitosis enter the G2 phase to make structures like microtubules.
