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. Prokaryotic cells reproduce by a method called binary fission.
Answer to Problem 3A
Cell cycle
Explanation of Solution
The sequence of events in the life of a eukaryotic cell is called the cell cycle. The cell cycle is the method by which eukaryotic cells reproduce themselves. There are three main stages of a cell cycle; interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis.
Interphase- This is the first stage in which a cell spends most of the time. It is the stage in which a cell grows, carries out cellular activities and replicates.
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.
Eukaryotic cells reproduce by mitosis, the process of nuclear division, and cytokinesis, the process of cytoplasm division.
