Mitosis/Meiosis

Cells spend 90% of their time in this stage of the cell cycle. This is the reason you would see most cells in this stage if viewed under a microscope.

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Interphase

Cell division occurs to allow for 

• Growth
• Reproduction
• Repair
• All of the above

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.
