Cell Cycle & Mitosis

Why do unicellular organisms need to copy and divide their cells?

• to repair damages

• to create a new organism

• to grow the organism

• to copy the DNA

Cells eventually age and die. What happens to ensure an adequate supply of healthy cells in a multicellular organism?

• Living cells multiply and divide, making new cells.

• Living cells share nutrients with dead cells.

• Cells grow larger to take up the empty space left by dead cells.

• Dead cells are not replaced, you are born with all of the cells needed for your lifetime.
