Chapter 12 The Cell Cycle
In this chapter, 24 questions are new, and 12 have been altered to incorporate new material from the
textbook. As in the other chapters, any questions that depend on figures or introductory scenarios have
been placed at the end of the chapter rather than in concept sequence.
