Q

Pair of identical chromosomes after a chromosome duplicates itself

A

Chromatids

94
Q

Nuclear envelope bounds the nucleus, nucleolus is still present, chromatin is replicated

A

Interphase

95
Q

Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, centrioles replicate and move to opposite sides of the cell, nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappears

96
