Cell cycle and Mitosis

What is the purpose of mitosis?

• To increase the surface area of a cell
• To allow cells to divide for growth, repair, and renewal
• For increasing genetic variation within a species
• To allow for DNA replication and protein synthesis

• Two different cells with half of the original chromosomes
• Four identical cells with all of the original chromosomes
• Four different cells with half of the original chromosomes

During the "s" phase of the cell cycle, DNA is duplicated. Why is this important?

• Allows for each daughter cell to be genetically DIFFERENT.

• Allows for each daughter cell to be genetically IDENTICAL

• Allows for each daughter cell to have 2X the amount of DNA as the parent cell.

• Allows for each daughter cell to have half the amount of DNA as the parent cell
