A diagram of a process that occurs during one of the stages of the cell cycle is shown. Which answer choice best identifies the process illustrated and the stage of the cell cycle in which it occurs?
Replication, Interphase
Protein synthesis, Prophase
Crossing over, Metaphase
Cytokinesis, Anaphase
Scientists determined the total mass of DNA from a sample of animal cells. The masses of equal numbers of cells were taken during three different stages of the cell cycle. Stage I contains cells massed during G1 of the cell cycle. Refer to the diagram titled 'Mass of DNA During the Cell Cycle' to answer the following question: Which statement best describes the cells during Stage II?
The cells have replicated their DNA, but have not completed mitosis and cytokinesis.
The cells have completed mitosis and cytokinesis without replicating their DNA.
The cells have replicated their DNA and completed mitosis and cytokinesis.
The cells have temporarily exited the cell cycle without replicating their DNA.
Which table best compares the events that occur during different stages of the cell cycle?
Table F
Table G
Table H
Table J
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.
Which statement best describes why a cell spends the majority of its time in interphase?
A. The cell is growing and carrying out processes such as metabolism and DNA replication.
B. The cell is aging and processes are stopping as lysosomes clear dead cell matter away.
C. The cell needs time to synthesize spindle fibers to complete mitosis.
D. The cell needs time to complete cytokinesis.
The activities in the cell cycle occur during specific phases. In which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?
Mitosis
G1 phase
G2 phase
S phase
This model of the cell cycle includes two arrows that each represent a process in the cycle. What do the two arrows represent?
Arrow 1 represents prophase, and Arrow 2 represents interphase.
Arrow 1 represents mitosis, and Arrow 2 represents meiosis.
Arrow 1 represents interphase, and Arrow 2 represents mitosis.
Arrow 1 represents meiosis, and Arrow 2 represents prophase.

Answer the following STAAR Question.
The diagram below represents the cell cycle. When cells leave the cell cycle, they exit during G1 phase and then enter G0 phase, a resting period. Most normal cells can leave G0 phase and re-enter the cell cycle at G1 phase before entering S phase. Cancer cells are different because they cannot enter G0 phase and are likely to do which of the following?
Fail to complete S phase
Mutate during G1 phase
Repeat the cell cycle continuously
Die after completing mitosis
Part of the cell cycle is shown in this simplified model.
This part of the cell cycle is best described as the process that —
duplicates the DNA
completes cell division
maintains genetic homeostasis
synthesizes new molecules
