Cell Mitosis

Which stage of mitosis involves the chromosomes coming to rest along the center plane of the cell?

• Prophase

• Prometaphase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

What happens during anaphase?

• The chromosomes come to rest along the center plane of the cell

• The centromeres split and the sister chromatids migrate toward the opposite poles of the cell

• The chromosomes at either end of the cell cluster together and a new nuclear membrane forms

• The cytoplasm divides and two separate cells are formed

What is the purpose of the cell plate in telophase in plant cells?

• To produce new chromosomes

• To separate the sister chromatids

• To ensure each daughter cell receives a copy of each chromosome

• To form the new cell wall between the two cells

What is the purpose of cytokinesis in telophase?

• To produce new chromosomes

• To separate the sister chromatids

• To ensure each daughter cell receives a copy of each chromosome

• To divide the cytoplasm and form two separate cells

What is the next phase of mitosis?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.

• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.

• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

• To make the chromosomes more easily observable

• To separate the sister chromatids

• To facilitate the formation of a new nuclear membrane

• To identify the formation of the cell plate
