This circular diagram breaks down the cell cycle into Interphase and M-phase, highlighting key steps like DNA replication and cell division.

The image shows the cell cycle, which is the series of events a cell goes through as it grows and divides.

Let’s break it down step by step:

1. The big green arrow going around the circle represents the whole cell cycle.
2. Most of the time, the cell is in Interphase — this is when it’s growing and preparing to divide. Interphase has 3 parts:
- G1 phase: Cell grows (blue section)
- S phase: DNA replicates (yellow section)
- G2 phase: Prepares for mitosis (red section)
3. After interphase comes the M phase (purple section), which includes:
- Mitosis (dividing the nucleus): Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
- Cytokinesis (dividing the cytoplasm) — shown in yellow at the end of M phase

So the full order is:
→ G1 → S → G2 → Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) → Cytokinesis → back to G1

This cycle repeats for cells that keep dividing.

Since no specific question was asked in your upload, but you’re likely being asked to identify or describe the phases — here’s what you need to know:

✔ The longest part of the cell cycle is Interphase (G1 + S + G2).
✔ DNA replication happens in the S phase.
✔ The actual division of the cell (nucleus + cytoplasm) happens in the M phase.
✔ Mitosis is just the nuclear division; cytokinesis splits the rest of the cell.

If your homework asks something like “What happens in the S phase?” → Answer: DNA replication.
Or “Which phase takes up most of the cell’s life?” → Answer: Interphase.

But since no exact question was given, I’ll assume you want the correct labeling or sequence confirmed.

Final Answer:
The cell cycle consists of Interphase (G1, S, G2) followed by M phase (Mitosis and Cytokinesis). DNA replication occurs in the S phase. Mitosis includes Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Cytokinesis completes cell division.
