• Chromosomes condense

• Nuclei form on each side

What is the purpose of organizing DNA into chromosomes?

• To increase the number of chromosomes

• To make it easier to move during mitosis

What happens during prophase?

• New nuclei form on each side

• Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

• Chromosomes condense and become visible

• Chromosomes move away from each other

What is the purpose of spindles during mitosis?

• To split the cytoplasm

• To form new nuclei

• To protect the DNA

• To help move the chromosomes

What is the last stage of mitosis?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

What is the end goal of mitosis?

• To create four cells with different chromosomes

• To create four cells with identical chromosomes

What is the purpose of cytokinesis?

• To form new nuclei

• To repair damaged cells
