• Your cells fill with water, and get bigger.

• Your cells divide, producing new cells.

• Your cells elongate.

• Your cells combine with one another.

What are the four stages of mitosis?

• Anapest, protophase, multiphase, and telephase

• Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

• Adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine

• Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4

What happens at the very end of mitosis?

• The nucleus splits again.

• The chromosomes divide.

• Centrioles disappear.

Where do duplicated chromosomes line up during metaphase?
