G1

When examining cells in the laboratory you noticed that a particular cell has half as much DNA as the surrounding cell it appears that this cells cell cycle halted at checkpoint

G1

A _______ is an abnormally growing mass of cells that is actively spreading through the body

Malignant tumor

If it weren't for _____ chromosome number what double with every generation of sexual reproduction
