Cell Cycle

What is the cell cycle?

• The gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.
• The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
• The branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
• The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.

Which part of the Cell Cycle takes the longest?

• Interphase
• Mitosis
• Prophase
• Cytokinesis

What happens in the first part of Interphase?

• Mitosis
• Cell Growth
• DNA Replication
• Anaphase

What part of the cell cycle results in the splitting of the new cells?

• Interphase
• Mitosis

What does DNA Replication mean?

• DNA is made.
• DNA makes new cells. 
• DNA copies itself.
• DNA starts the cell cycle.
