Front

What are the life stages of a cell called?

Back

The life stages of a cell are called the cell cycle.

Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The cell cycle is the series of stages that a cell goes through to divide and replicate.

Front

What are the main phases of the cell cycle?

Back

The main phases of the cell cycle are Interphase, Mitosis, and Cytokinesis.

Front

What happens during Interphase?

Back

During Interphase, the cell grows, duplicates its DNA, and prepares for division.

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

Front

What is Cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
