The first thing that happens when a new cell is produced from cell division is to grow rapidly.
When a cell is produced, the new cell immediately enters the interphase of the cell cycle. The interphase is characterized by 3 phases, namely:
- G1 phase
- S phase
- G2 phase
The new cell immediately enters the G1 phase which is characterized by rapid growth and development of the cell. The cell increase in size and volume at this stage.
Thereafter, the cell enters the S phase where DNA is synthesized. the amount of DNA present in the cell is doubled during this phase.
Next is the G2 phase where the cell experiences the synthesis of proteins and other important biomolecules before entering an active division phase itself.
