enlist the events that take place in a cell between two successive M phases.
Dear student.
M-Phase or mitotic phase is a phase in cell cycle during which nucleus divides immediately followed by cytoplasmic division, and is comprised of different phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. M-phase accounts for 10% of the cell cycle.
Once a cell is done with the mitosis and cytokinesis which together define the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cycle, new daughter cell enters G1 phase. In G1 phase synthesis of RNA and proteins takes place, needed for growth and replication of the cells. If everything is proper, cell enters S phase in which DNA replication occurs or else cell enters G 0 or quiescent phase. It is the stage wherein cells remain metabolically active but do not proliferate unless called to do so. Followed by S-phase, cell enters G2 phase, where synthesis of protein needed for spindle formation and mitosis takes place. Once the cell is done with G2 phase, it enters mitotic phase (Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase ). Lastly, cell undergoes cytokinesis.
