Below are descriptions of some of the events that occur during mitosis.  Please indicate which phase the events take place by recording…

 

  • I for interphase
  • M for metaphase
  • T for telophase
  • P for prophase
  • A for anaphase

 

 

____ Daughter chromosomes are dragged toward opposite poles of the cell.

____ The spindle fibers drag the chromosomes to align at the cell’s equator.

____ This phase occurs immediately before cytokinesis.

____ A cell may spend up to 95% of its life in during this phase.

____ The aster bodies begin pushing the poles of the cell away from each other.

____ Spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes via their kinetochores.

____ The cleavage furrow develops.

____ The chromosomes’ centromeres break.

____ DNA replication takes place.

____ The chromatin will condense into chromosomes that are visible.

____ The daughter chromosomes reach opposite poles of the cell.

____ The spindle forms.
