What does “Phases of the cell cycle” actually mean in Cell Cycle & Cell Division, and why does it matter for NEET?
G1 (growth), S (DNA replication), G2 (growth) make up interphase, followed by M phase (division).
In simple words: G1 (growth), S (DNA replication), G2 (growth) make up interphase, followed by M phase (division). Getting Phases of the cell cycle clear matters because NEET questions on Cell Cycle & Cell Division usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
