A
G1 Phase (first growth phase) S Phase (synthesis phase) G2 Phase (second growth phase) M Phase (Meiotic phase) ---- G0 Phase
3
Q
What is Mitosis?
A
The process by which cells are produced for growth, maintenance and repair of body tissues.
4
Q
What is Meiosis?
A
The process by which cells are produced for sexual reproduction.
5
Q
Draw out the process of Mitosis, give a brief description for each phase.
