| What happens to the surface area and the volume of a cell as the cell increases in size? | it increases |
| True or False? You can see chromosomes during the G1 phase | False |
| True or False? You can see chromosomes when they are beign duplicated | true |

| True or False? You can see chromosomes during cell division | True |
| What are the two main stages of cell division? | Mitosis and Cytokinesis |
| What are the differences between cell division in plant and animal cells? | the plant cell builds a wall to divide and split, the animal cell pinches it to divide. |
