replication
From which interval would a cell possibly go into interval G0 and how long would
it stay there? What would it do there?
if a cell decided to go to G0 it would be after interval G1. Here it would just go
about its metabolic business and not prepare to divide. It would stay there
temporarily or permanently. If it decided to leave, it would go back to G1 and
then progress on to interval S.
What happens in interval S?
, a cell copies it's chromosomes by DNA replication. After this happens each
chromosome consists of two molecules of DNA and they are attached as sister
chromatids.
