Cell Cycle Which part of the cell cycle covers nuclear division?

Cell Cycle Which stage of the cell cycle lasts the longest?

Cell Cycle What might happen if, during any stage of interphase, the cell does not receive sufficient nutrition or is damaged in some way?

Cell Cycle Why is the ratio of surface area to volume important for cells?

Cell Cycle In which phase of the cell cycle does cytokinesis occur?
