In which phase are the sister chromatids separated into individual chromosomes and moved apart?

How are cancer cells different from other cells?
Cancer cells do not respond to the signals that regulate the growth of most cells. As a result, the cells divide uncontrollably.

What are the unspecialized cells from which differentiated cells develop known as?
Stem cells

______ stimulates the growth and division of cells.
Growth Factors

In which phase does the cell grow and replicate its DNA and centrioles?
Interphase

What is the role of chromosomes in cell division?
Chromosomes make it possible to separate DNA precisely during cell division.
