Question

which of the following is true? (choose all that apply) *

• cells divide at the end of prophase.
• cells begin mitosis due to an increased surface to volume ratio.
• cells divide and create two similar daughter cells.
• cells spend most of their time in interphase.

this is a required question

Explanation:

• Cells divide at cytokinesis (after telophase), not prophase end: false.
• Cells start mitosis when surface-to-volume ratio decreases (inefficient nutrient exchange): false.
• Mitosis produces two genetically identical (similar) daughter cells: true.
• Interphase (growth/DNA replication) takes ~90% of cell cycle: true.

Answer:

Cells divide and create two similar daughter cells., Cells spend most of their time in interphase.
