1. A Prophase 5. D, A, F, C, E, B
2. C 6. Animal cell, as they have centrioles
3. F 7. Interphase
4. Centriole
8. Mitosis is important to multicellular organisms because it provides new cells for growth
and for replacement of worn-out cells, such as skin cells. Many single-celled organisms
rely on mitosis as their primary means of asexual reproduction.

Answer: The cell cycle is a series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide During
the cell cycle, a cell grows, prepares for division, and divides to form two daughter
cells.
2. What are the phases of eukaryotic cell cycle?
Answer: In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four discrete phases: G1, S, G2, and M. The S
or synthesis phase is when DNA replication occurs, and the M or mitosis phase is
when the cell actually divides.
3. In which phase does a cell spend most of its life? What happen during this phase?
Answer: Interphase and during this time it grows, replicates its chromosomes, and prepares for
cell division. The cell then leaves interphase, undergoes mitosis, and completes its
division. The resulting cells, known as daughter cells, each enter their own interphase
and begin a new round of the cell cycle.
4. What is Cancer?
Answer: Cancer cells are cells gone wrong — in other words, they no longer respond to many of
the signals that control cellular growth and death. Cancer cells originate within tissues
and, as they grow and divide, they diverge ever further from normalcy.
Answer: The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is
responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of
a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA
to be split into daughter cells.
