During which phase do the chromosomes begin to condense?

• Prophase

• Anaphase

• Telophase

• Metaphase

What structure connects sister chromatids?

• Centrosome

• Centromere

• Centriole

• Chromatin

What is the role of microtubules during mitosis?

• DNA replication

• Chromatid separation

• Chromosome condensation

• Cell growth

Which phase involves the chromosomes lining up in the center of the cell?

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Prophase

• Telophase

What marks the beginning of anaphase?

• Nuclear envelope reformation

• Condensation of chromatin

• Chromosomes aligning at the cell center

• Separation of sister chromatids

During which phase does the nuclear envelope begin to reform?

• Prophase
