Back

DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of cytokinesis in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the process that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Front

What happens during the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell grows and synthesizes proteins necessary for DNA replication.

Front

What is apoptosis?

Back

The process of programmed cell death.

Front

What is the significance of the G2 phase in the cell cycle?

Back

It is the final phase before mitosis where the cell checks for DNA damage and prepares for division.
