M phase.

Front

What are the three main phases of the cell cycle?

Front

What occurs during the G2 phase of the cell cycle?

Back

The cell prepares for mitosis by producing proteins and organelles.

Front

What is apoptosis?

Back

The process of programmed cell death.

Front

What is the role of checkpoints in the cell cycle?

Back
