Phases

Phases 
    The cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's chromosomes are divided between the two sister cells, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm divides in half forming distinct cells. Activation of each phase is dependent on the proper progression and completion of the previous one. Cells that have temporarily or reversibly stopped dividing are said to have entered a state of quiescence called G0 phase.
There Are Five Phase Of Cell Cycle
  1. G0 phase 
  2. Interphase 
  3. G1 phase 
  4. S phase
  5. G2 phase
Some Other Phases Of Cell Cycle
  • Mitosis (M phase, mitotic phase) 
  1. prophase,
  2. metaphase,
  3. anaphase,
  4. telophase
  5. cytokinesis (strictly speaking, cytokinesis is not part of mitosis but is an event that directly follows mitosis in which cytoplasm is divided into two daughter cells)
