Question

place the steps of mitosis in the correct order
(4 points)

• prophase→chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, mitotic spindle and microtubules are formed
• metaphase→the spindle lines up the chromosomes
• anaphase→microtubules pull chromosomes apart at centromeres, separating them into sister chromatids.
• telophase→sister chromatids finish being pulled to opposite sides of the cell, two new nuclei are formed.

Explanation:

The steps of mitosis follow a specific sequence: Prophase (chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves), Metaphase (chromosomes line up), Anaphase (chromosomes separate), Telophase (new nuclei form, cell splits). Matching the descriptions to the stages gives the order.

Answer:

prophase → metaphase → anaphase → telophase
