Hi Casey, thanks for your comment! No, this is an artistic interpretation of cell division and apoptosis- in real time, these processes would occur much more slowly and the cells would certainly not appear coloured like this. However, we have definitely tried to emulate the physical look of these processes, as the cells divide or break up.
Thank you for posting this! Is this based off an actual observation I wonder? Also a student here
