During which phase of the cell cycle does most cell growth occur?

• cytokinesis

• interphase

• metaphase

• prophase

Why must DNA replication have to occur before a cell can divide by mitosis?

• a.   So the two new cells have the same amount of chromosomes as the parent cell

• to cause one of the cells produced to have a double the number of chromoomes as the parent cell

• to allow crossing over to occur in each of the cells produced

• to cause all of the cells produced to have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell
