question 21
what is the series of events that take place in a cell as it grows and divides?

1. independent assortment and crossing over during meiosis
2. the cell cycle
3. dna replication during interphase
4. crossing over during mitosis

Explanation:

• Option 1: Independent assortment and crossing over during meiosis are specific events in sexual reproduction (meiosis), not the overall series of events in cell growth and division.
• Option 2: The cell cycle is the entire series of events that occur as a cell grows and divides. It includes interphase (growth, DNA replication) and mitotic phase (cell division).
• Option 3: DNA replication during interphase is just one part of the cell cycle, not the whole series of events.
• Option 4: Crossing over occurs during meiosis, not mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division for growth and repair, and crossing over is not a normal event in mitosis.

Answer:

1. the cell cycle
