Mitosis results in the creation of ___ number of cells that are ___.

• one; unique

• two; identical

• one; identical

• two; unique

Sister chromatids are

• dense patches within the nucleus

• bacterial chromosomes

• joined strands of identical, replicated DNA

• prokaryotic nucleus

Sister chromatids separate in this phase of mitosis.

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

Phase of mitosis in which chromatids from each pair have arrived at each pole

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

The DNA is uncoiled as chromatin during this part of the cell cycle.

• interphase

• prophase

• telophase

• cytokinesis

Chromosomes line up at the equator during this phase of mitosis

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

The nuclear membrane dissembles (breaks down) & chromosomes begin to become visible

• prophase

• metaphase

• anaphase

• telophase

• telophase

Refer to the diagram above. Which of the following describes the expected end products of this process?

• 2 cells that are genetical identical (same number of chromosomes) to the parent cell

• 2 cells that are genetically different (different number of chromosomes) from the parent cell

• 2 cells with one-half as many chromosomes as the parent cell

• 1 cell with twice as many chromosomes as the parent cell
