The mitotic cell cycle is composed of 5 stages that allow the cell to produce a "clone" of the original cell. The cell cycle proceeds as follows: Gap 1, Synthesis, Gap 2, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis. The first grouping of stages known as interphase, contains the first 3 of the 5 cell cycle stages. The first stage in Interphase is the Gap 1, or "G1" phase, which is the main growth ph...
