Answer 1

Here are the answers to your questions:

**Question 1:** True
(DNA is in the form of chromatin during interphase, appearing less condensed than during cell division when it's organized into chromosomes.)

**Question 2:** False
(A benign tumor is generally less dangerous than a malignant tumor; benign tumors do not metastasize and spread to surrounding tissues.)

**Question 3:** False
(There is a difference in how prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells divide; prokaryotic cells divide through binary fission, while eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis or meiosis.)

**Question 4:** Interphase
(G1, S, and G2 phases are all part of interphase, where the cell performs its regular functions and prepares for division.)

**Question 5:** Gene
(A section on a chromosome that codes for a specific protein is known as a gene.)

**Question 6:** Binary Fission
(The most common way that bacteria cells divide is by binary fission.)

**Question 7:** True
(Eukaryotic cells typically have multiple chromosomes, while prokaryotic cells often have a single large chromosome.)

**Question 8:** Nucleus is divided
(The statement "Nucleus is divided" is NOT a step during binary fission; prokaryotes do not have a nucleus.)

**Question 9:** Apoptosis
(The programmed suicide of a cell due to mistakes in the cell cycle is known as apoptosis.)

**Question 10:** S phase
(The S phase of the cell cycle involves the replication of a cell's DNA.)

**Question 11:** Mitosis
(The term that refers to the division of the nucleus in eukaryotic cell division is mitosis.)

**Question 12:** Nerve cells
(Nerve cells may enter the G0 phase and not divide for their entire lifetime.)
