The length of the cycle varies from organism to organism and from cell to cell.
There are two primary phases to a typical eukaryotic cell cycle:
Interphase is the period in which the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating DNA.
It takes up around 95% of the total cycle time and is further divided into three phases:
G1 phase (Gap 1)
This is the cell's phase between mitosis and the initiation of replication of the cell's genetic material, which takes around 11 hours.
S phase (Synthesis)
DNA replication occurs during this phase, which lasts around 8 hours.
G2 phase (Gap 2)
During this phase, RNA, proteins and other macromolecules essential for cell organelle are produced, which takes around 4 hours.
M phase is the mitotic phase of equational division, during which the cell completely reorganises to give birth to a progeny, which takes nearly 1 hour.
