Question

A cell is viewed under a microscope and is found to have two nuclear envelopes and spindles that appear to be breaking apart. Which phase of mitosis is the cell most likely in?
a. Telophase
b. Anaphase
c. Metaphase
d. Prophase

Answer 1

c. Metaphase

The two identical daughter cells resulting from mitosis and cytokinesis are identical in the following ways:1. Mitosis occurs when the nucleus of the cell divides into two identical nuclei, each with the same type and number of chromosomes. The cell's DNA is duplicated during this phase. Sometimes the cell's DNA isn't copied properly resulting in cancer-type cells. 2. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides into two identical daughter cells. Each cell is genetically identical and both are a similar size.
