Mitosis Activity
Below are the pictures of the phases of mitosis and labeled diagrams of the phases. Cut them out and paste
them in your notebook in the correct order. The names of the phases, in the correct order, are: Interphase,
(prior to mitosis) prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Write a caption for each phase. For the
conclusion, answer the questions.

5. Which statement illustrates the proper sequence for mitotic cell division (notice
there are only 3 choices)?
1 Interphase → Prophase → Anaphase → Metaphase → Telophase
2 Telophase → Anaphase → Metaphase → Prophase → Interphase
3 Interphase → Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
6. During what phase in mitotic cell division do the chromosomes line up along the
equator of the cell?

2 telophase
3 metaphase
4 out-of-phase

genetic material is made up of

2 NADPH
3 Proteins
4 DNA
8. The diagrams below represent some events in a cell undergoing normal mitotic cell
division.
