Which inference is best supported by the model described?
AThe DNA is copied before its copies are separated.✓ Correct
The stated sequence puts copying ahead of separation.
BMitosis occurs before the cell copies its DNA.✗ Incorrect
The order in the passage places mitosis later.
CEvery stage takes the same amount of time.✗ Incorrect
The model does not show how long stages last.
DThe model shows that cells never prepare for division.✗ Incorrect
Preparation is explicitly described.
Answer
A. The DNA is copied before its copies are separated.
Rationale
The passage places DNA copying in S and separation later in mitosis. This ordering supports the inference without requiring information about duration.
RememberConnect stated details without adding an unsupported claim.
