Cell Cycle & Mitosis

Interphase

D

For growth, replacement of dying cells, and repair of damaged cells.

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

DNA packaged into threadlike structures.

The phase of the cell cycle where the cell spends most of its time, preparing for division.

Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate.

The phase where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

Chromatids reach the poles, the nuclear envelope re-forms, and the cell prepares to divide.
