The overall process by which a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two new cells
the cell cycle
100
Name the 3 reasons for cell division
growth
healing
reproduction
100
The stage that includes growth, replicating DNA and the organelles is
interphase
100
Name the six steps of the cell cycle in the correct order, beginning with interphase......
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
100
What are the 4 stages of the cell cycle that involves the nucleus actively dividing and preparing one complete set of DNA going to each daughter cell
PMAT
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
200
During interphase, the cell is replicating the organelles and the DNA. What does replicating mean?
copying
