Answer 4 out of 5 questions correctly.

The cell cycle is the process through which cells grow, copy their DNA, and then divide into two daughter cells. The cell cycle ensures that cells divide in an organized and controlled manner so that genetic information is passed accurately from one generation of cells to the next.

The diagram shows the two main phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle: interphase and the M phase, also called cell division. Each phase is divided into smaller parts. The size of each section of the diagram reflects the relative amount of time a cell spends in each phase.
