Good, but question four gives you the answer to question one!

whoops, didn't notice that! edited it now :)

There isn't five stages of Mitosis? There's four as Interphase is a separate stage of the cell cycle... Plus The question about function of mitosis it's for growth and repair and there isn't a choice for that o_O otherwise great quiz lol :)

wow these have been such an amazing help thank you! :)

you should probably re word question 12 as interphase takes the longest in the cell cycle but prophase takes the longest in the 5 or 4 stages (if you dont include interphase) of cell division otherwise its actually a really great quiz thanks :)

Great quiz! But there are only four stages to mitosis.... Interphase isn't part of mitosis. Very helpful otherwise!
