During interphase
DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers
2 new nuclei form
2 new identical cells are created
DNA gets copied
During prophase
DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers
DNA condenses into chromosomes, centrioles and spindle fibers appear
2 new identical cells are created
DNA gets copied
During metaphase
DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers
centrioles and spindle fibers appear
2 new identical cells are created
DNA gets copied
During anaphase
DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers
centrioles and spindle fibers appear
Each DNA gets pull to the opposite sides of the cell
DNA gets copied
During telophase
DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers
centrioles and spindle fibers appear
Each DNA gets pull to the opposite sides of the cell
2 new nuclei form
During cytokinesis
DNA lines up in the middle of the cell and DNA attaches to spindle fibers
Cell membrane pinches to make 2 new identical daughter cells
Each DNA gets pull to the opposite sides of the cell
2 new nuclei form

In general, the purpose of a checkpoint in the cell cycle is:
To allow the cell to rest
To check for any errors
To signal cell replication
To signal DNA replication
Why is the synthesis stage called this?
because protein synthesis is taking place
because DNA synthesis is taking place
because it combines several smaller stages into one
because the chromosomes come together
A cell that undergoes repeated mitosis without cytokinesis would have:
many daughter cells
fewer chromosomes
many nuclei
cancerous properties
Why is it important for the chromosomes to condense during mitosis?
to facilitate DNA replication
to facilitate chromosome movement without tangling and breaking
to facilitate cytokinesis and formation of a cell plate
to facilitate microtubule spindle formation
Which of these is a reason that the chromosomes in the cell have two chromatids?
Each chromatid contains unique genetic information.
It allows the cell to divide into genetically identical daughter cells.
A chromosome requires two chromatids to initiate protein synthesis.
It allows genetic information to cross over between sister chromatids during mitosis, increasing genetic diversity.
A researcher is studying the rates of mitosis of different cell types. Which of these cell types would most likely have the highest rate of mitosis?
a nerve cell in the brain
a muscle cell in the heart
a cell in the lens of the eye
a cell in the lining of the intestine
