Question

Number the following steps in the correct order and tell which stage it occurs in:

A cleavage furrow or cell plate forms, separating the nuclei.
Chromosomes line up at the equator and chromatids are attached to spindle fibers.
Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear.
Genetic material replicates and is joined at the centromere.
Centromeres divide and single-stranded chromosomes move to the poles.

Answer 1

The correct sequence starts with genetic material replication during Interphase, followed by the formation of the mitotic spindle during Prophase, chromosome alignment at the equator during Metaphase, centromeres dividing in Anaphase, formation of the cleavage furrow or cell plate during Telophase, and the nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappearing in Telophase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of Events in Mitosis and Meiosis

Here are the steps in order, along with the stage in which each occurs:

A cleavage furrow or cell plate forms, separating the nuclei. This is part of Telophase and the beginning of Cytokinesis.

The nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear. This also occurs during Telophase.
