3. alignment of chromosomes in the center of the cell

4. separation of chromosomes

5. disappearance of spindle fibers

6. pinching of the cell membrane

This was the correct answer on my test

Answer 2

The correct sequence of mitosis is:

1. condensation of chromosomes

2. formation of spindle fibers

3. alignment of chromosomes in the center of the cell

4. separation of chromosomes

5. pinching of the cell membrane

6. disappearance of spindle fibers

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is the name for the process in which a cell divides itself into two identical daughter cells. The phases of mitosis are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase and cytokinesis. It is during the interphase that the DNA in the cell is copied as a preparation for the division. The steps we ordered in sequence above belong to the other phases.

1. condensation of chromosomes - prophase

2. formation of spindle fibers - prophase

3. alignment of chromosomes in the center of the cell - metaphase

4. separation of chromosomes - anaphase

5. pinching of the cell membrane - telophase and cytokinesis

6. disappearance of spindle fibers - the end of cytokinesis
