Revise: Mitosis, the Cell Cycle and CancerThe cell cycle is the sequence of events through which a cell grows and divides. It includes interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is specifically the division of the nucleus; cytokinesis separates the cell into two.
Give the stages in order: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, then cytokinesis. Interphase and cytokinesis are parts of the cell cycle, not stages of nuclear division.
