Question

1. in which phase do sister chromatids move away from one another to opposite poles of the cell?

a. anaphase
b. telophase
c. metaphase

1. which process splits the cytoplasm of the two cells in half and allows the cell membrane to reform outside the new two identical cells?

a. telophase
b. interphase
c. cytokinesis

1. in which phase does genetic material condense, chromosomes become visible, and the nuclear envelope breaks down?

a. interphase
b. prophase
c. telophase
short answer

1. what is the cell cycle?
2. how does cancer occur?
3. list the steps of mitosis in order.
4. write a mnemonic device to help you remember the four stages of mitosis in order.

Explanation:

• Question 8: In anaphase, sister chromatids move to opposite poles.
• Question 9: Cytokinesis splits the cytoplasm.
• Question 10: In prophase, genetic material condenses, chromosomes become visible, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
• Question 11: The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication) that produces two daughter cells.
• Question 12: Cancer occurs when cells divide and grow uncontrollably due to mutations in genes that regulate cell growth and division.
• Question 13: The steps of mitosis in order are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
• Question 14: A mnemonic device could be "People Make Awesome Tacos" for Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Answer:

• 8. a. anaphase
• 9. c. cytokinesis
• 10. b. prophase
• 11. The cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication) that produces two daughter cells.
• 12. Cancer occurs when cells divide and grow uncontrollably due to mutations in genes that regulate cell growth and division.
• 13. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
• 14. "People Make Awesome Tacos" (for Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).
