Front

What is the function of autosomes?

Back

Autosomes carry genes that determine most of the body's traits.

Front

What is the role of interphase in the cell cycle?

Back

Interphase is the stage where the cell grows, performs its functions, and prepares for division.

Front

What are the three phases of interphase?

Back

G1, S, and G2.
