Question 4

During the process from the previous question, what could happen to the DNA that might make the daughter cells not identical to each other or the parent cell (again, think back to the last unit)? Just write one word

Question 6
6.
Drag the things that occur in each step of mitosis (each thing only falls under one step, but it won't "disappear" once you use it so take your time).
Two new nuclei form
Breakdown the nuclear envelope
Spindle fibers not attached to chromosomes stretch the cell
Spindle fibers attached to chromosomes pull apart sister chromatids (doubling number of chromosomes)
DNA uncoils into chromatin
Cell fully divides (split cytoplasm)
Spindle fibers attach to centromeres and move chromosomes to the middle of the cell (some spindle fibers don’t attach to centromeres)
Spindle fibers breakdown
Centrioles produce spindle fibers
Condense DNA into chromosomes
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase/Cytokinesis
