Chapter 10.2, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The order of stages in the process of mitosis.
Introduction:
The cells of the living organisms undergo the process of cell division or cell cycle. The cell cycle involves events that occur in a particular order from cell birth (formation) until its division(reproduction). Cell division is very important for the growth of an organism. It involves a series of steps and each and every step is very crucial in the cell cycle. Cell cycle involves mainly two phases, known as interphase (also known as growth phase andincludes sub-phases G1 or gap 1, S or synthesis, and G2 or gap 2), and M phase (the mitotic phase), which is followed by cytokinesis.
