Question

1. determine which part of the cell cycle each phrase below is describing. parts include: anaphase, cytokinesis, interphase, metaphase, prophase, telophase this is the phase of mitosis when the chromosomes are lined up in the center of the cell. this is the part of the cell cycle when the cell replicates its dna & grows in size. important note: the processes of interphase & cytokinesis are not phases of mitosis! look for the phrase “part of the cell cycle” (instead of “phase of mitosis”) when these particular processes are being described. this is the phase of mitosis when the cell’s dna condenses into chromosomes. this is the part of the cell cycle when a cleavage furrow develops & the cytoplasm of the cell divides. this is the phase of mitosis when the chromosomes are split in half & travel to opposite ends of the dividing cell. this is the phase of mitosis when new nuclei form around the dna in the two new cells.

Explanation:

1. In metaphase of mitosis, chromosomes line up at the cell - center.
2. Interphase is when the cell replicates DNA and grows.
3. Prophase is when DNA condenses into chromosomes.
4. Cytokinesis is when a cleavage furrow forms and cytoplasm divides.
5. Anaphase is when chromosomes are split and move to opposite ends.
6. Telophase is when new nuclei form around DNA in new cells.

Answer:

1. Metaphase
2. Interphase
3. Prophase
4. Cytokinesis
5. Anaphase
6. Telophase
