What is the G2 stage?
The type of cell with 2 chromosomes that have 1 from each parent.
What is a diploid?
The two main stages of cell division.
What are mitosis and cytokinesis?

What is meiosis?
The type of tumor that is cancerous
What is a malignant tumor?
The stage of the cell cycle in which chromosomes are duplicated.
What is the S stage?
The kind of chromosomes that are identical.
What are sister chromatids?

What is a cell plate?
The two divisions of meiosis.
What are Meiosis I and Meiosis II?
The type of tumor that is not cancerous
What is a benign tumor?
The stage with a growth or increase in cytoplasm.
What is the G1 stage?

What are homologous chromosomes?
The thing that splits during cytokinesis
What is cytoplasm?
The number of phases meiosis has.
