The cell cycle consists of interphase and the M phase. Interphase includes G1, S, and G2 phases where the cell grows and duplicates its DNA. The M phase is when the cell divides through mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase where the chromosomes align and separate. Cytokinesis then divides the cell cytoplasm. Uncontrolled cell division can lead to cancer.
