Matching questions match each description with the appropriate phase of mitosis:
strojnjashka [21]
Hello!!
A: Anaphase — 1 chromatids move towards opposite poles. I always remember that “Ana” moves to different places on the sides of town. This is where the chromatids begin to move.
B: Telophase — 4 Cytokinesis may occur. Cytokinesis is the last and final step. The sister chromatids finish moving towards the poles and then cytokinesis occurs.
C: Metaphase — 3 Chromatids line up in the middle of the cell. I always remember since they line up in the middle, they “met” there.
D: Prophase — 2 and 5 Disintegration of the nuclear membrane and the spindle forms. Both of these have to happen first in order for the rest of the processes to occur.
**The order of mitosis goes prophase, prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis.**
For the bottom:
A: Algae 6 and 10. Both diatoms and kelps (plant related) are a part of the Algae general type.
B: Fungi 7 and 9. Deuteromycetes and Ascomycetes.
C: Protozoa 8. It is ciliates because they are a major group of Protozoa from cilia.
I hope I helped!! Have a great day!! :)
