Assertion and reason: the cycle

Read exercise and reference answers
Questions
  1. Reason
    Each daughter cell needs a full complement of genetic material.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    DNA must be copied before a cell divides.
  2. Reason
    Interphase, the longer part, is growth and preparation.
    Verdict
    Both are true; the reason explains the assertion.
    Assertion
    The cell cycle is not only about dividing.
  3. Reason
    Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
    Verdict
    The assertion is false and the reason is true.
    Assertion
    Cell division ends at maturity.
The reason must genuinely explain the assertion. Source: syllabus Biology, Cell Cycle and Cell Division.
