phase and the mitotic is the following
phase.
- What are the three periods
into which interphase is
divided?
Interphase is the preceding phase to the
mitoticperiods, G1, S an division. It d G2 (tis divided into thrhe letter G ee
comes from “gap”, meaning interval or
breach, “synthesis”,and the letter S com indicating the period ines from
which DNA replicates).
In fact, “gap” is not totally appropriate
for the periods immediatelyafter the DNA synthesis. The idea of before and
“growth” would be more adequate since
in those periods (G1 agrowing to divide later in nd G2) the cell ismitosis.
- In general which phase of
the cell cycle has longer
duration?
The interphase 4/5 of the cell cycle and the mitoticcomprises approximately
phase has quite a shorter length.
