Osmosis video - Cell cycle

The cell cycle is a process that somatic cells go through that involves the duplication of DNA, growth, and division of the cell. The cell cycle can be divided into four phases: G1, S, G2, and M. G1 is the growth phase, where the cell performs all of its functions, and S is the synthesis phase, where DNA replication occurs. G2 is the growth phase, where the cell grows in size and prepares for Mitotic division, and M is the mitotic cell division phase, dividing the cell into two identical daughter cells.
