Antimetabolites are a form of chemotherapy drug. Antimetabolites are substitutes for the building blocks of DNA and RNA. These drugs damage cancer cells during the S phase of the cell cycle. Describe the stages of the cell cycle.  Use knowledge of the cell cycle to explain why antimetabolites would be an effective form of cancer treatment.
