What must the cell do first

In order for a cell to divide successfully

The cell has to go through the interphase

Interphase is split into g1, synthesis, and g2

G1 is most of the cells life, where it replicates organelles

Synthesis is where the DNA replicates, 23 chromosomes become 46

G2 is where the cell gets ready for mitosis (active cell division) here the microtubles are produced

Mitosis is split into prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis

Interphase is where all DNA and organelles are replicated within a cell
