The cell cycle is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it
replicates DNA.
produces specialized cells.
grows and divides.
divides after checkpoints.
A cell spends most of its time in what is called ________, and during this time it grows, replicates its ___________, and prepares for cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes ______, and completes its division. The resulting cells, known as daughter cells, each enter their own interphase and begin a new round of the cell cycle.
