process of cell growth that leads to cell division for cells
cell cycle
Most of the cell’s time is spent here
Interphase
Cell grows and DNA duplicates
Interphase
forms haploid gametes
Meiosis
Tetrads exchange genes
Prophase I
Chromosomes do not
duplicate
Prophase II
The four cells are genetically
different from each other
Telophase II and cytokinesis
formed by the union of two gametes
Zygote
how do cells help living things grow and reproduce
cells go through mitosis to replicate and reproduce
