What is the function of mitochondria in a cell?

Back

What is the difference between plant and animal cells in terms of cell division?

Back

Plant cells form a cell plate during cytokinesis, while animal cells form a cleavage furrow.

What is the significance of the S phase in the cell cycle?

Back

The S phase is when DNA replication occurs, resulting in two copies of each chromosome.
