A continuous process in which individual cells grow, make copies of their chromosomes, and then divide to form daughter cells; includes G1, S, and G2, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

A period of growth and DNA replication that occurs between cell divisions. (includes G1, S, and G2)

• Interphase

• prophase

• metaphase

• cytokinesis

The stage of cell division in which the cell's nucleus divides to form two nuclei, each of which contains a complete set of chromosomes. (division of the nucleus)
