Christian is observing some cells under the microscope and made the following observations:
Spindle fibers are present
Chromosomes are lined up in the center
What phase of the cell cycle is he MOST LIKELY observing?
What is the purpose of the cell cycle?
Once a cell has successfully gone through interphase, it will usually divide to form two _________ cells.
A student set up a table to organize the steps of the cell cycle. What should the titles of the 2 columns be? Drag one correct answer to each box. Some answers will not be used.

Cytokinesis
Interphase
Mitosis
Synthesis
Match each of the 4 steps of mitosis to its definition.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Metaphase | arrow_right_alt | The step of Mitosis when the chromosomes are pulled apart/away to opposite sides of the cell. |
Anaphase | arrow_right_alt | The step of Mitosis when two nuclei are formed. |
Prophase | arrow_right_alt | The step of Mitosis when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. |
Telophase | arrow_right_alt | The step of Mitosis when the chromosomes become packed/condensed and are visible. |
Which of the four stages of the cell cycle is when the chromatin is replicated?
Match the following steps of the cell cycle to their correct definition.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
G1 | arrow_right_alt | Verification of the cell contents before mitosis |
Mitosis | arrow_right_alt | Replication of DNA occurs |
Cytokinesis | arrow_right_alt | Grows for the first time, organelles double |
G2 | arrow_right_alt | Division of the nucleus into two nuclei |
S Phase | arrow_right_alt | Division of the cytoplasm into two identical cells |
Which letter represents where DNA is replicated?
The first phase of mitosis, when DNA is packed/condensed in the nucleus, is known as .
Which is the best description of metaphase?
Which is the best description of cytokinesis?

The animation above represents because .
Match the following image to the best description of the step in Mitosis.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
| arrow_right_alt | Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. | |
| arrow_right_alt | Chromatin condenses. At this phase you can see the individual chromosomes. | |
| arrow_right_alt | The spindle fibers divide the chromosomes in half. The chromosomes are pulled to the opposite sides of the cell. | |
| arrow_right_alt | Each of the two chromosome sets are surrounded by a new nucleus. |
