During what phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?

• G1 phase
• S phase
• G2 phase
• M phase

Put the following actions in order: DNA replicates, cell grows, cell divides, cell prepares for mitosis. 

• DNA replicates, cell grows, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides
• cell grows, cell prepares for mitosis, DNA replicates, cell divides
• cell grows, DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell divides
• DNA replicates, cell prepares for mitosis, cell grows, cell divides

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

What happens in Cytokinesis?

• DNA replicates

• Cell grows and matures

• Cell is splitting in two, forming of two daughter cells.

• Cell is dividing, but NOT splitting in two

Why is it important for multicellular organisms to undergo mitosis?

• In order for parents to pass on genes to their offspring.

• To allow organisms to grow and repair damaged cells.

• To create a diverse population

• To cut the number of chromosomes in half

What are the three parts of the cell cycle?

• Interphase, Mitosis, Anaphase

• Interphase, Meisois, Mitosis

• Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

• G1, S, G 2

What is the end result of a cell that undergoes cell division Mitosis?

• 1 daughter cell

• 4 daughter cells

• 2 parent cells

• 2 daughter cells
