Question

distinguishing the steps of mitosis
use the drop - down menus to complete each sentence.
during , membranes form around the uncoiling chromosomes.
during , chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell.
during , chromosomes split apart.
during , spindle fibers form.

Explanation:

• Telophase: It is the final stage of mitosis where new nuclear membranes form around the two sets of uncoiling chromosomes, and the cell begins to divide into two daughter cells.
• Metaphase: In this stage, chromosomes align along the equatorial plane (middle) of the cell, attached to spindle fibers.
• Anaphase: Here, sister chromatids (parts of chromosomes) are pulled apart by spindle fibers to opposite poles of the cell.
• Prophase: It is the first stage of mitosis. During prophase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers start to form.

Answer:

1. Telophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Prophase
