Information Transfer and Heredity · Genetics & Heredity
The Cell Cycle and DNA Replication
Students analyze how cells grow, replicate their genetic material, and divide to ensure continuity of life.
Key Questions
- 1How does a cell ensure that its genetic instructions are copied perfectly every time?
- 2What are the consequences for an organism when the cell cycle loses its regulation?
- 3How do multicellular organisms grow from a single cell while maintaining the same DNA?
