Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Most cells in an organism go through a cycle of growth, development and division called the

• mitosis

• cell division

• cell cycle

• interphase

The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the series of events that take place in a cell that cause it to divide into

• two daughter cells

• the G2 phase

• two mitochondria

• two brother cells

Through the _______________, organisms grow, develop, and produce new cells.

• sister chromatids

• cell cycle

• chromosomes

• organ system

NGSS.MS-LS1-7

The period during the cell cycle of a cell's growth and development. A cell spends most of its life in this process.

• Mitosis

• cytokinesis

• anaphase

• Interphase

Rapid growth and replication, or copying, of the membrane-bound structures called organelles is a part of this phase

• Interphase

• Mitosis

• Telophase

• Metaphase

In this stage, the nucleus divides in the first stage and the cell's cytoplasm divides in the second stage

• Mitotic

• Interphase

• G1

• S

The mitotic phase creates two new identical cells.

• True

• False

At the end of the Mitotic phase, the original cells no longer exist.

• True

• False

The time it takes to complete a cell cycle depends on the type of cell that is dividing.

• True

• False
