Mitosis Steps and What Occurs

Question 1

IPMAT

Answer 1

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase

Question 2

Prophase

Answer 2

First phase of mitosis; Replicated DNA condense into duplicated chromosomes and centrioles move to opposite poles. The nuclear membrane begins to disintegrate and the centrioles begin to form spindle fibers.

Question 3

Metaphase

Answer 3

The duplicated chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Spindle fibers are attached to the area reffered to as centromeres, which connects to sister chromatids.

Question 4

Anaphase

Answer 4

Chromosomes are pulled apart and move toward opposite ends of the cell.

Question 5

Telophase

Answer 5

Last phase of mitosis but not the final step; The nuclear membrane begins to reform and the condensed chromosomes begin to untangle. The cell pinches in the middle.

Question 6

Cytokinesis

Answer 6

Completely divides the cell into 2 cells. Each cell contains an identical set of DNA.

Question 7

Interphase

Answer 7

G1, S, G2

Question 8

G1 Phase

Answer 8

Where cells grow and increase in size.

Question 9

S Phase

Answer 9

DNA Replication

Question 10

G2

Answer 10

Where cells begin to produce organelles and molecules necessary for mitosis.
