Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which term refers to the sequence of events that cells go through as they grow and divide?
A
active transport
B
cell cycle
C
protein synthesis
D
cellular respiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -The cell cycle is the series of events that cells go through as they grow and divide. 6. Complete the diagram of the cell cycle by writing the names of each of the four phases. 9.

Detailed explanation-4: -The period between two cell divisions is called ‘Interphase’. This is actually the period when the genetic material makes its copy so that it is equally distributed to the daughter cells during mitosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cell cycle is defined as the series of events that take place during cell growth and division. The main events of a cell cycle include the interphase and mitosis.
