The cell spends most of it's life in ________________.

• Mitosis

• Cytokinesis

• Interphase

• None of the above

In the S stage of interphase....

• The cell grows

• The nucleus divides

• The cell membrane divides

• The DNA is replicated

When an animal cell goes through cytokinesis....

• A cell plate forms dividing the 2 new nuclei.

• The cell membrane pinches off the 2 new cells.

• 4 new cells are formed.

• Sister chromatids are seperated

Which is Metaphase?

• A

• E

• C

• F

What is the purpose of the cell cycle?

• Growth of an organism and Repair of damaged tissue

• To help the body get rid of extra cells

• To increase the amount of classwork you have to do

• To get rid of the nucleus
