Cell cycle, mitosis, and cancer

Front

What is the S stage of interphase?

Back

The S stage of interphase is the phase where DNA is replicated.

Front

Back

During anaphase, chromosomes split and move to opposite ends of the cell.

What is cancer in relation to the cell cycle?

Back

Cancer is a disease characterized by uncontrolled cell division due to mutations in genes that regulate the cell cycle.

What occurs during prophase?

Back

During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
