What is the p53 gene?
The ability for a stem cell to divide into any type of cell, including placental cells
This happens during the G1 phase?
Cell growth
This is the phase where the nucleus and cytoplasm divide.
What is M phase

A cell in the human body turns from a stem cell into a skin cell. This process is called?
This is when the cell cycle arrests and stops dividing for a while.
