Which of the following is not a stage ofmitosis? |
interphase |
|
Whichof the following is likely to account for the difference between plant andanimal cell cytokinesis? |
Plant cell division must maintain the integrity of the cell wall. |
|
Abenign tumor differs from a malignant tumor in that a benign tumor |
does not metastasize. |
|
Sexualreproduction in plants and animals involves the production of gametes through aspecial type of division called |
meiosis |
