Question

1. put the following stages of the cell cycle in order: g2, s, g1, m.
2. put the following in order: g2, g1, s, mitosis, cytokinesis.
3. put the following actions in order: dna replication, cell grows, cell division, cell prepares for mitosis.
4. explain why cells dont just continue to grow larger as organisms grow larger. why do cells divide? (write in complete sentences)

Explanation:

Question 11

Step1: Recall cell cycle stages

The cell cycle has interphase (G1, S, G2) and mitotic phase (M). G1 is growth, S is DNA synthesis, G2 is preparation for mitosis, then M (mitosis).

Step2: Order the stages

So order is G1, S, G2, M.

Step1: Recall cell cycle order

Interphase: G1 (growth), S (DNA replication), G2 (prepare for mitosis). Then mitosis (nuclear division), then cytokinesis (cytoplasm division).

Step2: Arrange the terms

Order: G1, S, G2, mitosis, cytokinesis.

Step1: Analyze cell cycle events

Cell grows (G1), then DNA replication (S), then cell prepares for mitosis (G2), then cell division (mitosis + cytokinesis).

Step2: Order the actions

So order: cell grows, DNA replication, cell prepares for mitosis, cell division.

Answer:

G1, S, G2, M
