What occurs during the S phase of interphase?
DNA replication
What occurs during the G2 phase of interphase?
Preparation for mitosis
What is the phase that occurs during cell division?
M phase
Mitosis and cytokinesis occur during the M phase in what process?
Cell division
What are the four phases in order of mitosis?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
What type of cells don’t respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells?
Cancer cells
The larger a cell becomes the more or less demand the cell places on its DNA?
