What is cytokinesis?

• When 2 cells merge together to make 1 giant cell

• The end of the cell cycle when the cell divides and mitosis is complete

• The stage when DNA condenses into chromosomes

• The stage where chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

What is apoptosis?

• Programmed cell death (cell suicide) to prevent the spread of mutated/cancerous cells.

• A type of cell division done by most of your body cells.

• The final separation into two daughter cells and completion of the cell cycle.

• Sperm and egg cells.
