[7]Contemporary biologists think of cell duplication in higher organisms as occurring in cycles, hence the Cell Cycle, represented in the following table:
CELL CYCLE
PHASEDEFINITIONDURATION
Speriod of DNA Synthesis 7-8 hrs.
G-2Gap between S and M 2 hrs.
MMitosis, per se1-2 hrs.
G-1resting phase or interphase (sometimes called gap-1) variable: seconds to lifetime of cell
Replicating cells would cycle back to the S phase.
