What are the main stages of the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

Front

What is the purpose of mitosis?

Back

To produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What occurs during cytokinesis?

Back

The cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.

Front

What is the G1 phase?

Back
