Mitosis is the division of a cell’s ________ while a cell is dividing into 2 identical cells.

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Cell Membrane

• Cytoplasm

True of False: The Cell Cycle is the process of a cell taking in food and using this food to help the cell grow. Eventually the cell will divide and form new cells.

Chromosome pairs split apart and begin to move to opposite sides of the cell.

• Interphase

• cytokinesis

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

Chromosome pairs line up along the middle of the cell.

• Interphase

• cytokinesis

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

The cytoplasm divides. Two new cells are

formed, identical to the original cell. Each new

cell is in the growth stage of the Cell Cycle.

The nucleus can clearly be seen. Chromosomes make copies of themselves.

• Interphase

• cytokinesis

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

A nuclear membrane forms around each

set of chromosomes. Each new nucleus has

the same number of chromosomes as the

original cell.
