Question

Mitosis is the division of the _____ and begins with a stage called ____ . As the nuclear envelope finishes dissolving, the cells enter ____, where microtubules from the spindle attach to the duplicated X-shaped chromosomes.

When all chromosomes are fully attached to the spindle, they align at the midplate between poles. This marks the middle of mitosis, which is ____ . As sister chromatids separate, cells enter ____ and they finish separating and a nucleus reforms around each set of new chromosomes in ____ . During this phase, cytokinesis also becomes visible as the cells themselves begin to divide.

Answer 1

• cell; prophase. prometaphase
• metaphase. anaphase, telophase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is the division of the cell and begins with a stage called prophase. As the nuclear envelope finishes dissolving, the cells enter prometaphase, where microtubules from the spindle attach to the duplicated X-shaped chromosomes.

When all chromosomes are fully attached to the spindle, they align at the midplate between poles. This marks the middle of mitosis, which is metaphase. As sister chromatids separate, cells enter anaphase and they finish separating, and a nucleus reforms around each set of new chromosomes in telophase. During this phase, cytokinesis also becomes visible as the cells themselves begin to divide.
