Answer:
The human cell cycle has two main phases: the interphase and the M phase
Explanation:
Just like every cell, the human cell cycle has two main phases which are;
- The interphase
- The M phase
The interphase phase is further divided into 4 respective sub-phases namely;
phase which is essentially a resting/quiescence phase. It reserved for cells that have no need to divide unless they are called upon.
phase, a phase where cell growth and development takes place.
- S phase, a phase where DNA is synthesized.
phase, a phase where protein is synthesized.
The M phase is known as the active division phase. M can be mitosis or meiosis depending on the type of cells. Reproductive/sex cells will undergo meiosis while somatic/vegetative cells will undergo mitosis.
Mitosis is further divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase while meiosis is divided into prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I and prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II respectively.
