| What are the three phases of the cell cycle | interphase nuclear division cell division |
| Describe nuclear division | when the nucleus either divides into two (mitosis) or four (meiosis) |
| describe cell division | follows nuclear division in that the whole cell either divides into two (mitosis) or four (meiosis) |
| What can you say about the length of each cell cycle? | varies among different organisms, typically a mammalian cell takes around 24 hours to divide, 90% of this time being interphase |
| What is cancer | A group of cells that divide rapidly and uncontrollably as a result of damage to the genes that regulate mitosis and the cell cycle. |
| What is involved in the treatment of cancer? | Blocking of cell division in order to stop the growth of cells. |
