Mitosis Matching
For each of the statements below indicate which part of the cell cycle it is referring to. Your choices are:
interphase (I), prophase (P), metaphase (M), anaphase (A), telophase (T), cytokinesis (C).
_______ 1. A nuclear envelope re‐forms around each cluster of chromosomes.
_______ 2. The spindle begins to break apart.
_______ 3. The chromosomes become visible.
_______ 4. The chromosomes line up across the center of the cell.
_______ 5. The chromosomes continue to move until they have separated into two groups near the ends of
the cell .
_______ 6. Chromosome replication takes place. Because of this, each chromosome consists of two identical
“sister” chromatids.
_______ 7. The DNA starts to unwind in the nucleus.
_______ 8. Periods of intense growth ‐ cells increase in size and synthesize new proteins and organelles.
_______ 9. “In‐between” DIVISIONS ‐ A period of growth.
_______ 10. Some cells can spend almost their entire life cycle in this phase (even 60 YEARS).
_______ 11. The centromeres that joins the sister chromatids split, allowing the sister chromatids to separate
and become individual chromosomes.
_______ 12. The cell membrane is drawn inward until the cytoplasm is pinched into two nearly equal parts.
This looks like an “8” in the animal cell.
_______ 13. Each new cell contains its own nucleus, cytoplasm, and organelles.
_______ 14. In animal cells, centrioles, separate and take up positions on opposite sides of the nucleus.
_______ 15. Typically the shortest cycle in the cell division process.
_______ 16. In plants, a structure known as the cell plate forms midway between the divided new cells.
the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
_______ 17. In plants, the cell plate gradually develops into a separating membrane. A cell wall then begins
to appear in the cell plate formed from vesicles from the golgi.
_______ 18. The DNA in chromatin (again) inside each new nucleus.
_______ 19. The division of the cytoplasm itself.
_______ 20. The condensed chromosomes become attached to fibers in the spindle at a point near the
centromere of each chromatid.
