When a cell self-destructs
500
Which step is this?
Interphase
-unravelled DNA
-Nucleus

-Nucleus is breaking down
-Cell is preparing
Prophase
500
Describe: How do cells become different types?
They use certain parts of their DNA.
-all the cells in an organism have the same DNA
-different regions code for different proteins, which changes what the cell does
500
What is a checkpoint?
When a cell pauses in mitosis to make sure it has what it needs/is ready to divide
