Steps of the Cell Cycle

During which phase of mitosis do each of these things happen?

Groups:

(a) Propase

,

(b) Metaphase

,

(c) Anaphase

,

(d) Telophase

• Cytokinesis happens simultaneously

• Two new nuclei form

• Spindle fibers start to form

• Spindles pull the x-shaped chromosomes apart

• nucleus breaks down

• Replicated chromosomes split up and move to the poles

• Each centromere connects to a spindle on each side

• Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of cell

Organize these options into the right categories

Groups:

(a) Cytokinesis

,

(b) Interphase

• Two new cells form

• The last step of the cell cycle

• The first step of the cell cycle

• DNA replicates
