What are the main phases of the cell cycle?
The cell cycle has two major phases which are explained in the NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 10 Notes Cell Cycle and Cell Division:
-
Interphase (G₁, S, G₂) – Period of growth and DNA replication.
-
M Phase (Mitosis/Meiosis and Cytokinesis) – The division phase where the nucleus and cytoplasm split.
