Correct answers: DNA replication, and growth, repair, and reproduction of cells.
- DNA replication is a direct part of the cell cycle (S phase).
- The overall purpose of the cell cycle is to produce new cells for growth, tissue repair, and reproduction (mitosis and cytokinesis).
- “Development of positive mutations” is not a function — mutations are errors or changes, not an intended role.
- “Prevention of cancer” is not a primary function either; however, cell-cycle checkpoints and repair mechanisms help prevent uncontrolled division and reduce cancer risk when they work properly.
