The Cell Cycle

Question 1

Prophase

Answer 1

The centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell and between them form mitotic spindles. The nuclear membrane around the nucleus starts to dissolve and freezes up the chromosomes

Question 2

Metaphase

Answer 2

The chromosomes align themselves horizontally across the center and form the metaphase plate

Question 3

Anaphase

Answer 3

The chromosomes separate and half go up to the top of the cell and the other goes down the bottom (Shortest phase of mitosis)

Question 4

Telophase

Answer 4

The center of the cell begins to pinch in forming the cleavage furrow. Mitotic spindles dissolve and the nuclear membrane starts to reform around the nuclei.

Question 5

Mitosis

Answer 5

From one parent cell we end up getting two identical daughter cells

Growing and maturing of the cell
