Answer 8

Growth phase

Question 9

Answer 10

The et ready to divide phase

Question 11

Stages of Mitosis

Answer 11

1. Prophase
2. metaphase
3. anaphase
4. telophase and cytokinesis

Question 12

Prophase

Answer 12

• first and longest phase of mitosis
• the centrioles separate and take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus
• the spindle beings to form between centrioles

Question 13

Metaphase

Answer 13

• Seconded phase
• The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell
• microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to the piles of the spindle

Question 14

Anaphase

Answer 14

• third phase
• the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes a
• the chromosomes continue to move until they have separated into two groups

Question 15

Telophase

Answer 15

The fourth and final phase mitosis

• chromatids are pulled to opposite poles if the cell
• Nucleolus reappears and new nuclear envelope forms around each new set of chromosomes

Question 16

Cytokinesis

Answer 16

The cytoplasm pieces in half, daughter cell began to make identical set of chromosomes

Question 17

Cell division

Answer 17

• two major stages:
• -First one is mitosis
• –Seconded is cytokinesis
