Which statements best explain how the cell cycle is important to the life cycle of the frog? Select TWO correct answers.

• It enables frogs to produce tadpoles that are clones.

• It prevents overproduction of frog offspring.

• It allows frogs to reproduce.

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

• It enables the growth and development of the frog.

Which statement best describes why a cell spends the majority of its time in interphase?

• The cell is growing and carrying out processes such as metabolism and DNA replication.

• The cell is aging and processes are stopping as lysosomes clear dead cell matter away.

• The cell needs time to synthesize spindle fibers to complete mitosis.

• The cell needs time to complete cytokinesis.

The karyotype, or chromosomal profile, for humans is shown. A karyotype can be used to investigate genetic disorders. The chemical colchicine is used in the production of karyotypes. Colchicine prevents spindle fibers from forming during the cell cycle. What is a result of preventing spindle fibers from forming?

• The cell cycle skips G₀ phase and repeats G₁ phase.

• Mitotic division is skipped, and the cell cycle proceeds to cytokinesis.

• Miotic division stops in metaphase and cannot proceed to anaphase.

• The cell cycle skips S phase and proceeds to G₂ phase.
