Cell Cycle Phases Explained: G1, S, G2, and Mitosis #2282156 (License: Personal Use)

This circular diagram depicts the sequential stages of the eukaryotic cell cycle: G₁ (gap 1) for growth, S (synthesis) for DNA replication, G₂ (gap 2) for preparation, and M (mitosis) for nuclear division, followed by cytokinesis. Arrows indicate progression and potential exit to quiescence (G₀, labeled as I). Two resulting daughter cells are shown emerging from the M phase.

Used in biology education, textbooks, and online learning modules to explain cellular reproduction; matches user intent for understanding mitosis, cell division, or preparing for exams like AP Biology or MCAT.
