In mitosis, two cells called daughter cells are produced, each identical to the parent cell. When looking at cells with a microscope, the length of different stages of the cell cycle can be ...

From this understanding, scientists then identified the four characteristic phases of the cell cycle: mitosis (M), gap 1 (G1), DNA synthesis (S), and gap 2 (G2). The study of these phases ...

We therefore suggest that mitosis can be re-staged to reflect more accurately the molecular pathways that underlie key transitions. Cell division is the terminal phase of the cell cycle ...
