The different cell cycle stages are distinguished by the purpose of their function and purpose. The 4 stages are G1, S, G2 and M. They all have different functions. G1 is for the growth of the cell. S is for when the cell is duplicating itself. G2 is the preparation of mitosis or meiosis. M is the actual mitoic phase in the cell. The final outcome of mitosis is to have the two split cells that are made with the DNA.
