Question

The first phase of Mitosis is _________ . In this phase the DNA condenses down into ________, and the duplicated separate. The second phase of Mitosis is_______ . In this phase the sister chromatids line up on the _______ plate through a push and pull motion as they connect to the microtubule spindle fibers emanating from the ________. The third phase of Mitosis is________ . In this phase the________ (sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes) are pulled apart. The fourth phase of Mitosis is_______ . In this phase the nuclear ________starts to reform and the DNA de-condenses.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Prophase

2. Chromosomes

3. Metaphase

4. Cell

5. Centrosomes

6. Anaphase

7. Duplicated chromosomes

8. Telophase

9. Membrane

Explanation:

This question is describing the process of mitosis which consists of four stages namely: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase etc.

- PROPHASE is the first stage of mitosis where DNA condenses down into CHROMOSOMES, and the duplicated separate.

- METAPHASE is characterized by the lining up of sister chromatids at the CELL PLATE through a push and pull motion as they connect to the microtubule spindle fibers emanating from the CENTROSOME.

- ANAPHASE is the third stage of mitosis in which DUPLICATED CHROMOSOME/SISTER CHROMATIDS are pulled apart into opposite poles.

- The fourth stage is TELOPHASE where the NUCLEAR MEMBRAN starts to reform and the DNA de-condenses.
