Assess the coordination and control of the cell cycle.
a. Cell division, DNA replication, and cell growth must be coordinated for correct division.
b. Cell growth (cytoplasmic increase) is a continuous process, but DNA synthesis is restricted to the S phase.
c. The events of the cell cycle are under genetic control.
d. A typical eukaryotic cell cycle is illustrated by yeast, which divides every 24 hours.
e. The interphase, though called the “resting phase,” is a time of preparation for division.
f. Karyokinesis must always be followed by cytokinesis for the organism to survive.
g. The cell cycle is a sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its cytoplasm.
