Malignant tumor cells have enlarged, abnormal nuclei with abnormal It composed of 2 main stages:- A) Interphase: ✓ It is the time between two successive cell divisions (90% of the cycle). ✓ It is divided into 3 phases:- ❑Gap 1 (G1) ❑Gap 2 (G2) & ❑Synthesis phases (S) B) Mitosis: cell division. Apoptosis is active programmed cell death. Apoptotic cells have several morphological features:- 1. Chromatin condensation (pyknotic nucleus). 2. Breaking up of the nucleus. 3. Blebbing of the plasma membrane. 4.
