Question

the life cycle of a frog is illustrated in the diagram. which statement best explains how the cell cycle is important to the life cycle of the frog? a it enables frogs to produce tadpoles that are clones. b it allows frogs to grow, develop, and reproduce. c it prevents overproduction of frog offspring. d it ensures the best adapted frogs survive and pass on traits to offspring.

Explanation:

The cell cycle is crucial for growth (increasing cell number/size), development (differentiation of cells), and reproduction (production of gametes). Option A is incorrect as sexual reproduction (frogs) doesn't produce clones. Option C is wrong as the cell cycle doesn't prevent over - production. Option D refers to natural selection, not the cell cycle.

Answer:

B. It allows frogs to grow, develop, and reproduce.
