Name __________________________________________________________________________________ Date ____________________________ How does the length of the cell cycle vary? Problem-‐Solving Lab, Observing and Inferring Science 9 The cell cycle varies greatly in length from one kind of cell to another. Some kinds of cells divide rapidly, while others divide more slowly. Analysis Examine the cell cycle diagrams of two different types of cells. Observe the total length of each cell cycle and the length of time each cell spends in each phase of the cell cycle.
Thinking Critically
1. Which part of the cell cycle is most variable in length?
2. What can you infer about the functions of these two types of cells?
3. Why do you think the cell cycle of some types of cells is faster than in others? Explain your answer.
