Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. match the phases in the cell cycle to the events that occur in each phase. interphase mitosis cytokinesis the nucleus divides the cytoplasm divides the dna replicates

Explanation:

• Interphase: This is the phase where the cell prepares for division. One of the key events here is DNA replication, as the cell needs to duplicate its genetic material before dividing.
• Mitosis: Mitosis is the process of nuclear division. During mitosis, the nucleus of the cell divides into two, ensuring that each new cell will have a complete set of chromosomes.
• Cytokinesis: After mitosis (nuclear division), cytokinesis occurs. This is the phase where the cytoplasm of the cell divides, resulting in the formation of two separate daughter cells.

Answer:

• "the nucleus divides" → mitosis
• "the cytoplasm divides" → cytokinesis
• "the DNA replicates" → interphase
