What do cancer cells do differently than normal cells in the cell cycle?
Name the stage shown in the image alongside-
Problems can take place at any point in the cell cycle. The longer a cell spends in a given phase, the higher the chance something can go wrong. Given this, which phase is most likely to have the most problems?
Identify the stage of mitosis shown in the image alongside
