Before a cell can undergo mitosis, what process needs to occur that involves the DNA (this occurs during interphase and is a process we covered in the last unit)? You should write just two words.
Which of the following occurs in interphase (select all that apply)?
What is the major goal of mitosis (select all that apply)?
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
Which of the following is the correct order of the steps in mitosis?
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).
DNA uncoils into chromatin
Spindle fibers not attached to chromosomes stretch the cell
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
Breakdown the nuclear envelope
Spindle fibers attached to chromosomes pull apart sister chromatids (doubling number of chromosomes)
Cell fully divides (split cytoplasm)
Condense DNA into chromosomes
Two new nuclei form
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase/Cytokinesis
