Match

Match each phase with its correct description

Cell grows rapidly while carrying out normal functions.

Cells must replicate their DNA before cell division to ensure that identical genetic information is passed to  the next generation.

  • FINISHES GROWING

  • Errors in DNA replication are checked- if something is wrong, cell needs to fix its errors before it divides!
