Which stage of mitosis is shown in the image?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

What is the result of mitosis?

• Two cells with slightly different genes

• One new cell and the other cell dies

• Two genetically identical daughter cells

• Fraternal twin brother cells

What is the first stage of mitosis?

• Interphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

True or false: Interphase is longer than mitosis.

• True

• False

When looking at the onion root tips under microscope, what stage of mitosis were most of the cells in?

• Prophase

• Metaphase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

In the onion root, where was most cell division (mitosis) taking place?

• 1 - the very end of the onion root tip

• 2 - near the onion root tip, but not at the very bottom

• 3 - higher up on the onion root tip

• all regions of the onion root tip looked the same

When do cells start preparing for cell division?

• Prophase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Interphase

What happens in prophase?

• The cell grows and makes copies of organelles and DNA

• The chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell

• DNA condenses into chromosomes and the nucleus disintegrates

• The cell divides the cytoplasm into two portions
