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 dna replicates the cytoplasm divides the nucleus divides reset next

Explanation:

• Interphase: This is the phase where the cell prepares for division. One of the key events during interphase is DNA replication. The cell makes a copy of its DNA so that each new cell (after division) will have a complete set of genetic information.
• Mitosis: Mitosis is the process of nuclear division. The replicated chromosomes (from interphase) are separated and distributed into two new nuclei. So, the event “the nucleus divides” occurs during mitosis.
• Cytokinesis: After the nucleus has divided (mitosis), cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm of the cell divides. This results in two separate daughter cells.

Answer:

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