What is the very first step in mitosis?

• Cell splits (Cytokinesis)

• Chromosomes are pulled to opposite sides of the cell

• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes

• Chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell

Organize these options into the right categories

Determine the phases of Mitosis

Groups:

(a) Prophase

,

(b) Metaphase

,

(c) Anaphase

,

(d) Telophase

• 
• Chrosomes seperated and unwind back to chromatin. Nuclear envelopes re-form.

• 
• 
• Sister chromatids are pulled apart. Chromatid pulled to opposite poles of the cell.

• 
• Chromatin condenses and becomes visible as distinct chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of two

• Chromosomes align at the cell's equator, known as the metaphase plate. The spindle fibers fr

What role does the spindle apparatus play during mitosis?

• It replicates the DNA.

• It divides the cytoplasm.

• It helps in the distribution of chromosomes to daughter cells.

• It synthesizes RNA.
