1. complete the table below.

phase of mitosis	description	illustration
	cytoplasm divides and there are 2 new daughter cells

Explanation:

Each row corresponds to a key stage of the cell cycle (including mitosis and cytokinesis). Interphase is the growth and DNA replication stage. Mitosis proceeds in four main phases, followed by cytokinesis which splits the cytoplasm to form new cells.

Answer:

Phase of Mitosis	Description	Illustration
Prophase	Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks down	<small>(Draw: condensed chromosomes, dissolving nucleus)</small>
Metaphase	Chromosomes line up at cell equator	<small>(Draw: chromosomes aligned at center)</small>
Anaphase	Sister chromatids pull apart to poles	<small>(Draw: chromatids moving to opposite ends)</small>
Telophase	Nuclear envelopes reform, chromosomes decondense	<small>(Draw: two new nuclei forming)</small>
Cytokinesis	Cytoplasm divides and there are 2 new daughter cells	<small>(Draw: two separate, identical cells)</small>
