Mitosis - Cell Cycle

Question 1

Interphase

Answer 1

Chromosomes duplicate and the copies remain connected to each other

Question 2

Prophase

Answer 2

AKA - Prophase & Prometaphase. In the nucleus, chromosomes condense and become visible. In the cytoplasm the mitotic spindle forms. The nuclear envelope breaks apart and the spindle starts to interact with the chromosomes.

Question 3

Metaphase

Answer 3

The doubled chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell on the spindle.

Question 4

Anaphase

Answer 4

Chromosomes separate into two genetically identical groups, and move to opposite ends of the cell.

Question 5

Telophase

Answer 5

Nuclear envelopes form around each of the two sets of chromosomes, the chromosomes begin to lengthen and the spindle begins to disappear

Question 6

Cytokinesis

Answer 6

The cell splits into two daughter cells each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
