Put the following stages of mitosis in order: anaphase, prophase, metaphase, and telophase. 

• prophase, metaphase, telophase, anaphase
• prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase
• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
• prophase, telophase, metaphase, anaphase

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

• In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.
• In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.
• In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.
• In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

Cancer creates abnormal cells by disrupting

• the cell cycle
• red blood cell formation
• DNA replication
• ATP synthesis

Cancer is

• a premature stop in the cell cycle.
• uncontrolled mitosis.
• programmed cell death.

What is cancer?

• The heart does not receive enough blood.
• Sudden disruption of blood flow to part of the brain.
• Blood filled weak spot.
• Uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells.

Identify the stage of mitosis.
