1.
What is the cell cycle?
a)
The gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.
b)
The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics.
c)
The branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.
d)
The series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cells.
2.

3.

What occurs at the checkpoint in G1?

a)

Ensure the cell has grown large enough & the original DNA is undamaged

b)

Ensure the DNA has replicated properly and is undamaged

c)

Ensure the cell has grown large enough and has duplicated the organelles

d)

Ensure the cell is still able to carry out normal functions

4.

What can occur to an organism if the cell cycle is not regulated properly?
