Cell Reproduction: Warm Up 1
Welcome to the electronic frontier of the 21st century for science education. This is the first of three biology warm ups (bell ringers) for this topic of cellular reproduction. The cells of all living things grow and multiply through a cycle that's made up of six phases. If you stretched all the DNA in the nucleus of a cell. It would more than 20 miles. This warm up permits you an unlimited number of attempts to improve your test-taking and learning skills. As a Bonus, each attempts provides you with a new set of questions and random answers.
