Question

multiple choice question
__ is the time period between when a cell divides and the time the two cells resulting from that first cell division also divide.

options:

• exocytosis
• the cell cycle
• dna replication
• protein synthesis

Explanation:

• Exocytosis is the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane to release contents, not related to cell division timing.
• The cell cycle is the series of events (including division and the time until daughter cells divide) that a cell goes through.
• DNA replication is the copying of DNA, part of the cell cycle but not the overall time period of cell division and subsequent division of daughter cells.
• Protein synthesis is the creation of proteins, not related to cell division timing.

Answer:

B. The cell cycle
