Answer: Phases of cell cycle.
∙ The cell cycle consists of two phases.
1. Interphase. It includes the following stages:
∙ G1 phase (First growth phase)
∙ S phase (Synthesis phase)
∙ G2 phase (Second growth phase)
2. M Phase (Mitotic phase). It occurs in two steps: karyokinesis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasm division).Hence, they are collectively called as phases of cell cycle.
