Question

drag each tile to the correct box.
arrange the steps of mitosis in the correct order.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Mitosis Stages

Mitosis has stages: Prophase (chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks, spindle forms), Anaphase (sister chromatids separate, move to poles), Telophase (nuclear envelopes reform, cytokinesis starts).

• Bottom left: Prophase (chromosomes condensed, two centrosomes) – first stage.
• Top left: Anaphase (chromatids moving to poles, cell elongating) – second stage.
• Middle left: Telophase (nuclear envelopes, two cells forming) – third stage.

Step2: Arrange in Order

First box (top right): Anaphase (top left image).
Second box (middle right): Telophase (middle left image).
Third box (bottom right): Prophase (bottom left image). Wait, no – order is Prophase → Anaphase → Telophase? Wait, no: Prophase (chromosomes condense), then Metaphase (not shown), Anaphase (chromatids separate), Telophase (nuclear division). Wait, the images:

• Bottom left: Prophase (chromosomes visible, centrosomes).
• Top left: Anaphase (chromatids moving apart, spindle).
• Middle left: Telophase (nuclear envelopes, two nuclei, cytokinesis).

So order: Prophase (bottom left) → Anaphase (top left) → Telophase (middle left). So drag bottom left to bottom right, top left to top right, middle left to middle right.

Answer:

Bottom right box: The bottom - left image (Prophase).
Middle right box: The top - left image (Anaphase).
Top right box: The middle - left image (Telophase).

Wait, correction: Mitosis order is Prophase → Metaphase (not here) → Anaphase → Telophase. The given images:

1. Prophase: chromosomes condensed, two centrosomes (bottom left).
2. Anaphase: sister chromatids pulled to opposite poles (top left).
3. Telophase: nuclear envelopes reform, two nuclei, cell starts to divide (middle left).

So the correct order (from first to last box, top to bottom right boxes? Wait, the right boxes are top, middle, bottom (with arrows down). So:

• Top right box: Anaphase (top left image).
• Middle right box: Telophase (middle left image).
• Bottom right box: Prophase (bottom left image). No, the order of mitosis steps (as per these images) is Prophase (bottom left) → Anaphase (top left) → Telophase (middle left). So the bottom right box (first in the right column, top - to - bottom? Wait, the right has three boxes? Wait, original: left has three images (top, middle, bottom left), right has three boxes (top, middle, bottom right) with arrows down. So:

1. First box (top right): Anaphase (top left image).
2. Second box (middle right): Telophase (middle left image).
3. Third box (bottom right): Prophase (bottom left image).

Wait, no – the process is Prophase (chromosomes condense) first, then Anaphase (chromatids separate), then Telophase (nuclear division). So the bottom left image is Prophase (first stage), top left is Anaphase (second), middle left is Telophase (third). So the right boxes (top to bottom) should have Anaphase (top left) in top right, Telophase (middle left) in middle right, Prophase (bottom left) in bottom right? No, the order of the steps (as they occur) is Prophase → Anaphase → Telophase. So the first step (Prophase) goes to the bottom right box (first in the sequence of right boxes, since arrows go down), then Anaphase to middle right, then Telophase to top right? No, the arrows on the right are down, meaning the first box is top right (first step), then middle right (second), then bottom right (third). Wait, the problem says "Arrange the steps of mitosis in the correct order" with the right boxes having arrows down, so top right is first step, middle right second, bottom right third. But mitosis steps: Prophase (earliest) → Anaphase → Telophase (latest). So:

• Top right (first step): Anaphase (top left image).
• Middle right (second step): Telophase (middle left image).
• Bottom right (third step): Prophase (bottom left image).

No, that's reversed. Wait, maybe the images are:

• Bottom left: Prophase (chromosomes condense, centrosomes).
• Top left: Anaphase (chromatids moving apart, spindle).
• Middle left: Telophase (nuclear envelopes, two nuclei, cytokinesis).

So the correct order of these three stages (as they occur in mitosis) is Prophase → Anaphase → Telophase. So the first stage (Prophase) should be in the first box (top right), second (Anaphase) in middle right, third (Telophase) in bottom right? No, the arrows on the right are pointing down, so top right is first, middle right second, bottom right third. But Prophase is the first stage, Anaphase second, Telophase third. So:

Top right: Prophase (bottom left image).
Middle right: Anaphase (top left image).
Bottom right: Telophase (middle left image).

Yes, that makes sense. Because Prophase is first, then Anaphase, then Telophase. So:

• Top right box: The bottom - left image (Prophase).
• Middle right box: The top - left image (Anaphase).
• Bottom right box: The middle - left image (Telophase).

Yes, because mitosis order: Prophase (chromosomes condense) → Anaphase (sister chromatids separate) → Telophase (nuclear division and cytokinesis). So the bottom - left image (Prophase) goes to top right (first step), top - left (Anaphase) to middle right (second), middle - left (Telophase) to bottom right (third).
