Answer 4

s (synthesis)

Question 5

continues to grow and prepares for the process of mitosis

Answer 5

g2 (g stands for gap)

Question 6

nuclear division & involves the division of genetic information to produce two identical nuclei

Answer 6

mitosis/cell division

Question 7

process that separates the duplicated genetic material

Answer 7

prophase

Question 8

spindle fibers (microtubules) attach to the chromosomes at the centromere

Answer 8

prometaphase

Question 9

chromosomes align between the poles in a region known as the metaphase plate

Answer 9

metaphase

Question 10

chromatids separate at the centromere

Answer 10

anaphase

Question 11

separates the duplicated genetic material into two identical daughter cells

Answer 11

telophase

Question 12

splitting of the parental cell cytoplasm into two parts daughter cells (begins during anaphase or early telophase)

Answer 12

cytokinesis
