The life cycle of a frog is illustrated in the diagram. Which statement best explains how the cell cycle is important to the life cycle of the frog?

• It enables frogs to produce tadpoles that are clones.

• It allows frogs to grow, develop, and reproduce.

• It prevents overproduction of frog offspring.

• It ensures the best adapted frogs survive and pass on traits to offspring.

• It ensures there will be variation in the gametes.

The diagram shows the major stages of the cell cycle and the percentage of time spent in

each phase. Place the names of the phases in the correct spot and underneath place the correct statement on the importance of that phase.
