Answer 0

Division of the cell nucleus. First stage in cell division.

Question 1

Cell division

Answer 1

Process by which a cell divides into 2 new daughter cells.

Question 2

Cytokinesis

Answer 2

Division of the cytoplasm. Second stage of cell division.

Question 3

Interphase

Answer 3

In between cell division, a period of growth.

Question 4
