During _________________, chromosomes meet at the middle (equator) of the cell.

• anaphase

• metaphase

• prophase

• telophase

During ________________, chromatids are pulled apart.

• anaphase

• metaphase

• telophase

• prophase

During _________________, two nuclei are forming.

• anaphase

• metaphase

• prophase

• telophase

In what stage of the cell cycle are two new, identical daughter cells formed?

• interphase

• mitosis

• cytokinesis

Cytokinesis is different in plant and animal cells, because in animal cells...

• the cell membrane disappears

• the cell membrane pinches in to form the new cells

• a cell plate forms to divide the cells

• four cells form instead of two
