Front

What is the cell cycle?

Back

The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

Chromosomes become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

The process where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.
