Cell Cycle

Which Phase does the cell spend 90% of its life in?

• M Phase

• Interphase

• Cytokinesis

• Telophase

Answer explanation

The cell spends 90% of its life in the Interphase, which is the correct choice.

Which phase does DNA replicate?

• Mitosis

• S Phase

• G2

• Anaphase

Answer explanation

DNA replicates during the S Phase. This is the phase where DNA synthesis occurs and new copies of DNA are made.

What occurs in mitosis?

• The cell is growing

• The cell is divided

• Nucleus is divided

Answer explanation

Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus of a cell divides, ensuring the accurate distribution of genetic material to daughter cells.

During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell spend the most time?

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

• Interphase

Answer explanation

The cell spends the most time in the interphase, which is the phase between cell divisions where the cell grows and prepares for division.

Mitosis is the division of the​ (a)  

• nucleus

• cytoplasm

Answer explanation

Mitosis is the division of the cell. It is the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This ensures growth, repair, and maintenance of the body. Mitosis occurs in all eukaryotic cells and is essential for the development and functioning of organisms.

Cytokinesis is the division of the ​ (a)  

• cytoplasm

• nucleus

Answer explanation

Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. It occurs after the nuclear division and ensures the separation of the two daughter cells. This process is essential for cell reproduction and maintaining genetic stability.
