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

• In order for each daughter cells to receive a full set of DNA

• 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.

Why is the Cell Cycle often represented as a circle?

• Because it is easy to draw

• Because cell cycles has a distinct beginning and end point

• to highlight the checkpoints

• to show that it repeats over and over
