- The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is G1 phase.
The G1 phase is a period in the cell cycle during interphase, between mitosis and the S phase. For many cells, this phase is the major period of cell growth during its lifespan. G1 consists of four subphases:
These subphases may be affected by limiting growth factors, nutrient supply, and additional inhibiting factors.
A cell may pause in the G1 phase before entering the S phase and enter a state of dormancy called the G0 phase. Most mammallian cells do this.
