Question

9 matching 14 points match the phases of mitosis on the left to their descriptions on the right. note: this includes interphase and cytokinesis which are technically not part of mitosis. chromatin fibers condense into discrete x - shaped chromosomes composed of two identical sister chromatids joined at a centromere. the mitotic spindle forms and the chromosomes attach to it. at each pole of the cell a full set of chromosomes gather together. a membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to create two new nuclei. the single cell then pinches in the middle to form two separate identical daughter cells each containing a full set of chromosomes within a nucleus. the sister chromatids are then pulled apart by the mitotic spindle which pulls one chromatid to one pole and the other chromatid to the opposite pole. the nuclear envelope fragments and dissolves, releasing the chromosomes. they attach to the mitotic spindle at the kinetochore. the chromosomes are pulled end - to - end along the center (equator) of the cell. the cell carries out metabolism. the nucleus of the cell is contained within its membrane. the dna in the cell is copied. interphase cytokinesis prometaphase prophase anaphase telophase metaphase

Explanation:

• Prophase: Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, mitotic spindle forms.
• Telophase: Chromosomes gather at poles, new nuclei form.
• Cytokinesis: Cell pinches to form two daughter cells.
• Anaphase: Sister chromatids pulled apart.
• Prometaphase: Nuclear envelope fragments, chromosomes attach to spindle.
• Metaphase: Chromosomes aligned at cell equator.
• Interphase: Cell metabolism, DNA copied.

Answer:

1. Chromatin fibers condense... - Prophase
2. At each pole... - Telophase
3. The single cell... - Cytokinesis
4. The sister chromatids... - Anaphase
5. The nuclear envelope... - Prometaphase
6. The chromosomes... - Metaphase
7. The cell carries... - Interphase
