Front

Which event does not occur during some stages of interphase? Options: DNA duplication, organelle duplication, increase in cell size, separation of sister chromatids

Back

Front

The mitotic spindles arise from which cell structure?

Back

centrosome

Front

Attachment of the mitotic spindle fibers to the kinetochores is a characteristic of which stage of mitosis?

Back

prometaphase

Front

Unpacking of chromosomes and the formation of a new nuclear envelope is a characteristic of which stage of mitosis?

Back

metaphase

Front

Separation of the sister chromatids is a characteristic of which stage of mitosis?

Back

anaphase

Front

What is the correct order of events in mitosis?

Back

The kinetochore becomes attached to the cohesin proteins. Sister chromatids line up at the metaphase plate. The kinetochore breaks down and the sister chromatids separate. The nucleus reforms and the cell divides.
