Question

please match up the explanation of the steps in mitosis *

5 points

columns:

1. chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed
2. plasma splits into two complete cells
3. chromosomes line up at the middle equator of the cell
4. the chromatids are pulled apart/towards opposite poles of the cell
5. cell begins to replicate dna and cell organelles in order to begin division

rows:

• prophase
• metaphase
• telophase
• anaphase
• cytokinesis

Explanation:

Identify the stages and descriptions

• Prophase: The cell prepares for division. The description "Cell begins to replicate DNA and cell organelles in order to begin division" represents the preparatory/early phase (interphase/early prophase context here).
• Metaspase: "Chromosomes line up at the middle equator of the cell" corresponds to Metaphase.
• Anaphase: "The chromatids are pulled apart/towards opposite poles of the cell" corresponds to Anaphase.
• Telophase: "chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed" corresponds to Telophase.
• Cytokinesis: "Plasma splits into two complete cells" corresponds to Cytokinesis.

Match each stage to its correct description

• Prophase: Cell begins to replicate DNA and cell organelles in order to begin division
• Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the middle equator of the cell
• Telophase: chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed
• Anaphase: The chromatids are pulled apart/towards opposite poles of the cell
• Cytokinesis: Plasma splits into two complete cells

Answer:

Stage	Correct Explanation
Metaphase	Chromosomes line up at the middle equator of the cell
Telophase	chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed
Anaphase	The chromatids are pulled apart/towards opposite poles of the cell
Cytokinesis	Plasma splits into two complete cells
