Directions:
Use your notes, from your Note-Taking Sheet, to help you with the following questions.

Some of the phrases used are a bit different, but similar, to the language used in the notes (example - nuclear envelope and nuclear membrane).

Fill in the blanks using the following word bank:

_______ When does the cell begin to split the cytoplasm and daughter cells first become visible?

_______ During what phase of mitosis do centrioles form spindle fibers that will eventually help the chromosomes move toward their respective poles?

_______ What is the phase where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes?

_______ What is the name of the structure that connects the two sister chromatids?

_______ What is each piece called of a doubled-chromosome referred to (these pieces are attached at the centromere)?

_______ What is the step of cell division where two identical daughter cells are formed by dividing the parent cell?

_______ What forms across the center of a plant cell near the end of telophase during cytokinesis?

_______ What is the division of the cytoplasm called?

_______ During this phase, chromosomes line up in the middle.

_______ During this phase, sister chromatids are separated.

The following diagram shows a number of cells in going through cell division and mitosis. Use the diagram and your notes to answer the following questions.


_______ Cells A and D show an early and a later stage of the same phase of mitosis. What phase is it?

_______ Which cell is in metaphase?

_______ Which cell is in the first phase of mitosis?

_______ In cell A, what structure is labeled X, they are involved in the formation of the spindles?

Place the diagrams in order, from first to last: _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ .
