During which phase of the cell cycle do cells divide?
During which phase of the cell cycle are cells growing?
During which phase of the cell cycle are cells replicating their DNA?
During which phase of the cell cycle are cells preparing for mitosis?
The M phase in which the cell divides is made of 2 phases: ___________ and _________.
What is the sequence of the cell cycle?
Rate yourself on the learning target: I can describe the main events of the cell cycle.
Put the phases of mitosis in the correct sequence. (The top is the beginning and the bottom is the end.)
Telophase
Prophase
Anaphase
Metaphase
Match the the phase with its description of what is occuring in the cell during mitosis.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Anaphase | arrow_right_alt | The nucleus condenses; the chromosomes become visible; the spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope breaks down. |
Telophase | arrow_right_alt | The spindle attaches to the centromeres of the chromosomes and line them up in the center of the cell. |
Metaphase | arrow_right_alt | The spindle pulls the sister chromatids apart into individual chromosomes and pull them to opposite poles of the cell. |
Prophase | arrow_right_alt | The nuclear envelope reforms around the chromosomes; the spindle breaks apart and the cell membrane begins to pinch the cell in two. |
