| # | Definition | Sets |
| 1 | period of the cell cycle between cell divisions | 55 sets |
| 2 | the period of the cell cycle during which the nucleus is not undergoing division, typically occurring between mitotic or meiotic divisions | 37 sets |
| 3 | the time between cell divisions | 22 sets |
| 4 | the first stage of the cell cycle | 19 sets |
| 5 | a period between two mitotic or meiotic divisions during which the cell grows, copies its dna, and synthesizes proteins | 18 sets |
| 6 | the stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs | 14 sets |
| 7 | cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division; consists of g1, s, and g2 phases | 12 sets |
| 8 | g1, s, g2 | 11 sets |
| 9 | the period of the cell cycle during which activities such as cell growth and protein synthesis occur without visible signs of cell division | 9 sets |
| 10 | time between cell divisions | 8 sets |
| 11 | the cell grows and replicates its dna and centrioles | 8 sets |
| 12 | the stage of the cell cycle that takes place before cell division occurs. | 7 sets |
| 13 | stage of the cell cycle during which a cell carries out its metabolic processes and performs its functions in the body | 7 sets |
| 14 | period of the cell cycle between cell division | 7 sets |
| 15 | cell growth phase where a cell increases in size, carries on metabolism, and duplicates chromosomes prior to division | 7 sets |
| 16 | the period in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing. during interphase, cellular metabolic activity is high, chromosomes and organelles are duplicated, and cell size may increase. interphase accounts for 90% of the cell cycle. | 6 sets |
| 17 | the time interval between cellular reproduction | 6 sets |
| 18 | a beriod between mitotic or meiotic divisions during which the cell grows, copies its dna, and synthesizes proteins | 5 sets |
| 19 | the time between cell division | 5 sets |
| 20 | that portion of the cell cycle when the cell is not actively dividing | 5 sets |
| 21 | the period in the eukaryotic cell cycle when the cell is not actually dividing. | 5 sets |
| 22 | time between cell division | 5 sets |
| 23 | period between two mitotic or meiotic divisions of a eukaryotic cell during which the cell carries out routine functioning, copies its dna, and prepares to divide | 5 sets |
| 24 | dna replicates | 5 sets |
| 25 | the "in-between" period of growth | 5 sets |
| 26 | the portion of the cell cycle where the cell is not dividing; includes g1, s and g2 stages. | 4 sets |
| 27 | the cell grows in size and carries on metabolism | 4 sets |
| 28 | a period of time between cellular divisions | 4 sets |
| 29 | the stage of a cell between two successful mitotic or meiotic divisions. | 4 sets |
| 30 | the time period between neuclear division | 4 sets |
| 31 | most of the life of a cell in spent in this phase | 4 sets |
| 32 | the time when the cell is not dividing | 4 sets |
| 33 | "in between" period after/before cell growth | 4 sets |
| 34 | the first three phases of the cell cycle in which the cell spends 90% of its time | 3 sets |
| 35 | a period of cell growth and development that precedes mitosis | 3 sets |
| 36 | first stage of cell cycle | 3 sets |
| 37 | cells spend most of their lives in this stage | 3 sets |
| 38 | centrioles replicate. | 3 sets |
| 39 | the largest and longest stage of the cell cycle (about 90% of a cell's life) | 3 sets |
| 40 | the time between cell divisions. | 3 sets |
