Question

match the items.

a. all the chromatids are aligned in the metaphase plate
b. daughter chromosomes are pulled apart
c. nuclear membrane disappears
d. nuclear membrane reappears
e. 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell
f. 4 daughter cells with half the chromosomes of the mother cell

1. anaphase
2. metaphase
3. prophase
4. telophase
5. mitosis
6. meiosis

Explanation:

1. Anaphase: In anaphase, sister chromatids (daughter chromosomes) are pulled apart to opposite poles. So it matches with b.
2. Metaphase: In metaphase, chromosomes (chromatids) align at the metaphase plate. So it matches with a.
3. Prophase: In prophase, the nuclear membrane disappears as the cell prepares for division. So it matches with c.
4. Telophase: In telophase, the nuclear membrane reappears around the newly formed nuclei. So it matches with d.
5. Mitosis: Mitosis results in 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell. So it matches with e.
6. Meiosis: Meiosis results in 4 daughter cells with half the chromosomes of the mother cell. So it matches with f.

Answer:

1. Anaphase - b. Daughter chromosomes are pulled apart
2. Metaphase - a. All the chromatids are aligned in the metaphase plate
3. Prophase - c. Nuclear membrane disappears
4. Telophase - d. Nuclear membrane reappears
5. Mitosis - e. 2 daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell
6. Meiosis - f. 4 daughter cells with half the chromosomes of the mother cell
