Why do cells divide?

• for organisms to repair themselves by replacing damaged cells with new cells.

• for multicellular organisms to grow

• both are correct reasons

Where is DNA located in a cell ?

• in the cytoplasm

• in the nucleus

• in the cell membrane

• in the lysosome

When is DNA duplicated (or copied)?

• Before cell division, in Interphase

• During Cytokinesis

• During Mitosis

When a cell divides, you get

• two cells with different DNA

• two identical cells with the same DNA

• five cells with no DNA
