This is the time within the cell cycle where the cell is performing its normal functions and beings to get ready to divide.
question
Gap 1 Phase
answer
This is the period during the cell cycle when the cell is neither preparing for cell division nor dividing; it is growing while carrying on regular cell activities.
question
Gap 2 Phase also known as Growth 2 Phase ...
answer
This the period during the cell cycle between the DNA replication and mitosis. Chromatin condense into chromosomes and the chromosomes get ready for segregation.
question
Mitosis
answer
The process of nuclear division in cells that produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell.
question
Prophase
answer
This is the first stage of nuclear cell division in which centrioles move to opposite ends of the cells and chromosomes, spindle fibers, and an aster become visible.
question
Metaphase
answer
This is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes align in the middle of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells.
question
Anaphase
answer
This is the stage of meiosis or mitosis when chromosomes separate to the opposite ends of the cell.
question
Telophase
answer
This is the final phase of nuclear cell division during which a nuclear envelope forms around each new set of chromosomes.
question
