Question

categorization 4 points
correctly match the phases of mitosis to what occurs during them.
metaphase
:: chromosomes line up in the cell of the cell
:: spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes
anaphase
:: sister chromatids separate at their centromere
:: sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
prophase
:: chromosomes condense
:: the spindle forms
:: centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell
:: nuclear envelope breaks apart
telophase
:: chromosomes de - condense
:: nuclear envelope reforms
:: spindle breaks down
possible answers

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the events of each mitotic phase:

• Prophase: Chromosomes condense, spindle forms, centrioles move to opposite ends, nuclear envelope breaks apart.
• Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the cell’s equator; spindle fibers attach to centromeres.
• Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate at centromeres and are pulled to opposite ends.
• Telophase: Chromosomes de - condense, nuclear envelope reforms, spindle breaks down.

Answer:

• Prophase: chromosomes condense, the spindle forms, centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell, nuclear envelope breaks apart
• Metaphase: chromosomes line up in the cell, spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes
• Anaphase: sister chromatids separate at their centromere, sister chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
• Telophase: chromosomes de - condense, nuclear envelope reforms, spindle breaks down
