Correct vocabulary term for the given definition.
Introduction:
A cell grows until it reaches its size limit, then it either stops growing or divides. Most cells undergo division. Cell division helps a cell to reproduce and makes the organism grow and heal certain injuries. Cells reproduce by a cycle of growing and dividing called the cell cycle. There are three main stages of a cell cycle; interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis.
Answer to Problem 1A
Interphase
Explanation of Solution
A cell spends most of the time in interphase. It is the stage in which a cell grows, carries out cellular activities and replicates. It makes copies of DNA to enter the next stage of the cycle. During interphase a cell does not divide but prepares itself for cell division. There are three stages in interphase; G1, S and G2. In G1 stage, cell grows, carries out regular cell functions and prepares for synthesis of DNA. In S stage,
The next stage is mitosis in which cell’s nucleus and nuclear material divides.
The last stage is cytokinesis in which the cytoplasm of the cell divided creating a new cell.
