Which stage of the cell cycle involves DNA replication?
Interphase
Mitosis
Cytokinesis
Prophase
What happens during interphase?
Cell growth and production of organelles
Separation of genetic material
Formation of new cells
Division of the cytoplasm
What is the final stage of mitosis?
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
How are daughter cells formed in cytokinesis?
The cytoplasm and cell membranes split

Plot a graph to show the number of chromosomes during interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis in one cell that has a chromosome number of 4. Assume that all stages of mitosis take the same length of time.
(a) occurs between cell divisions. It involves (b) of (c) such as mitochondria, and duplication of (d) then checking the (e) for any errors.
