10 Questions
What is the significance of cell division?
It allows a single cell to form a structure consisting of millions of cells
What happens during the division of a cell?
DNA replication and cell growth also take place
How do all cells reproduce?
By dividing into two, with each parental cell giving rise to two daughter cells
What are characteristics of cells and living organisms?
Growth and reproduction
Why do all organisms, even the largest, start their life from a single cell?
Because growth and reproduction are characteristics of cells
Cell division is not an important process in all living organisms.
False
During the division of a cell, DNA replication does not occur.
False
Each parental cell gives rise to one daughter cell each time they divide.
False
The newly formed daughter cells cannot grow and divide.
False
Cell cycle does not allow a single cell to form a structure consisting of millions of cells.
False
Study Notes
Characteristics of Cells
- Growth and reproduction are characteristics of cells, and all living organisms.
- Cells reproduce by dividing into two, with each parental cell giving rise to two daughter cells.
Cell Division
- Cell division is a very important process in all living organisms.
- During cell division, DNA replication and cell growth also take place.
Cell Growth and Development
- A single cell can form a structure consisting of millions of cells through cycles of growth and division.
- The newly formed daughter cells can grow and divide, giving rise to a new cell population formed by the growth and division of a single parental cell and its progeny.
