12. Put the following in order: G2, G1, S, mitosis, cytokinesis.
13. Put the following actions in order: DNA replication, cell grows, cell
division, cell prepares for mitosis.

14. Explain why cells don’t just continue to grow larger as organisms grow
larger. Why do cells divide? (Write in complete sentences)

Answer 1

1.) The process is known as the "cell cycle."
2.) The longest phase is known as "interphase."
3.) Also occur during interphase.
4.) These processes occur doing the "M phase."
5.) Also during the M phase.
6.) DNA replication typically occurs during the S phase
7.) The cells grow during G1 phase.

14.) Cells divide because they have a maximum size they can reach due to their need for a high surface area-to-volume ratio. As organisms grow, they require more cells to maintain this ratio, and cells divide to maintain proper cellular function and accommodate growth.
