What are the 2 major divisions in cell cycle?

Interphase is one of the two major divisions and in this phase the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis and duplicating its DNA. The second phase is mitosis, during which the cell splits itself into two distinct cells, often called "daughter cells".

Interphase and Mitosis. Interphase is where the growth of the cell occurs, and it also tends to get various nutrients that it needs for growing. Mitosis is happens once the cell splits into two, and so on once the duplicated cells start to perform interphase once again. distinct cells, often called "daughter cells".
