Front

In which phase do chromosomes get pulled apart into sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell?

Back

Anaphase

Front

What is the first phase of cell division where chromatin condenses into chromosomes?

Back

Prophase

Front

What is the phase called when chromosomes align in the middle of the cell?

Back

Metaphase

Front

What is the term for the process of cell division in somatic cells?

Back

Mitosis

What is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell grows and DNA is replicated?

Back

Interphase

Front

What is the role of spindle fibers during cell division?

Back

To help separate the chromosomes.
