Match the 4 cell cycle phases correctly below.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
G2 phase | arrow_right_alt | starting phase; also known as a growth phase |
M phase | arrow_right_alt | DNA synthesis and replication (DNA doubles) |
S phase | arrow_right_alt | Checkpoint before division begins and more growth |
G1 phase | arrow_right_alt | cell division and formation of 2 diploid cells |
During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell?
In what phase of the cell cycle does the cell prepare for division by duplicating its DNA?
Categorize each cell division function and picture into either Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, or Cytokinesis.
chromosomes are at opposite ends of the cell and nuclei form around them, cytoplasm splits into two new cells
spindles separate and move chromosomes to the poles of the cell
chromosomes are visible & condensing inside the nucleus
nucleus is disassembled and chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase & Cytokinesis
