Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question: The problem is asking for the term that describes the series of events ensuring cell division occurs. This requires knowledge of basic cell biology terminology.
Review the provided options: The terms given are 'Apoptosis,' 'Translation,' 'Transcription,' and 'Cell cycle.' Each term has a specific biological meaning.
Define each term: Apoptosis refers to programmed cell death, Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from mRNA, and Transcription is the process of creating mRNA from DNA. The Cell cycle, on the other hand, is the series of events that lead to cell division and replication.
Match the correct term to the question: Since the question specifically asks about the series of events ensuring cell division, the correct term is 'Cell cycle.'
Conclude: The cell cycle includes phases such as G1 (growth), S (DNA synthesis), G2 (preparation for mitosis), and M (mitosis), which collectively ensure proper cell division.
