### Cell Cycle Phases and Processes This table provides an overview of the key phases of the cell cycle, detailing the processes, time intervals, DNA sets, and organelle counts associated with each phase. | **Phase** | **Key Process** | **Time Interval (hours)** | **Sets of DNA Present in Each Cell at End of Phase** | **Number of Organelles in Each Cell at End of Phase** | |-------------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | Gap₁ | Initial cell growth and function | 11 | 1 | 560 | | Synthesis | DNA replication | 8 | 2 | 570 | | Gap₂ | Protein and organelle synthesis | 4 | 2 | 600 | | Mitosis | Cell and nuclear splitting | 1 | 1 | 300 | | **Total time:** | | **24** | | | #### Explanation of Phases: - **Gap₁ (G₁) Phase:** The cell undergoes growth and performs its regular functions. This phase lasts for 11 hours, and the cell contains one set of DNA and 560 organelles by its end. - **Synthesis (S) Phase:** DNA within the cell is replicated, lasting 8 hours. By the completion of this phase, there are two sets of DNA and a slight increase in organelle number to 570. - **Gap₂ (G₂) Phase:** Further synthesis of proteins and organelles occurs in preparation for cell division. This stage lasts for 4 hours, maintaining two sets of DNA, and increases organelle count to 600. - **Mitosis:** This is the process of cell division where the nucleus and cell split, lasting 1 hour. Each resulting cell contains one set of DNA and 300 organelles. The total duration for a full cell cycle is 24 hours.
