Which describes the activities of a cell thatinclude cellular growth and cell division?
A
Mitosis
B
Cell Cycle
C
Cytokinesis
D
Chromatin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -cell cycle. Cell cycle represents series of stages in the life of an eukaryotic cell which includes cell growth, development and cell division. It consists of interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis stages.

Detailed explanation-2: -A cell cycle is a series of events that takes place in a cell as it grows and divides. A cell spends most of its time in what is called 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell cycle consists of a series of steps during which the chromosomes and other cell material double to make two copies. The cell then divides into two daughter cells, each receiving one copy of the doubled material. The cell cycle is complete when each daughter cell is surrounded by its own outer membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -cell cycle, the ordered sequence of events that occur in a cell in preparation for cell division. The cell cycle is a four-stage process in which the cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage).

Detailed explanation-5: -Each cell can take in nutrients, convert these nutrients into energy, carry out specialized functions, and reproduce as necessary. Even more amazing is that each cell stores its own set of instructions for carrying out each of these activities.
