What is an easy way to remember what happens in metaphase?
Meta=Middle
200
What is an easy way to remember what happens in anaphase?
Anaphase and apart both start with A
200
What reappears in telophase?

300
What does mitosis result in?
Two daughter nuclei
300
What happens to the nuclear envelope in this stage?
It starts to break down
300
What happens to the chromosomes in metaphase?
They line up in the middle of the cell
300
What happens to the chromosomes in anaphase?
They move toward the opposite poles
300
What happens to the cell in telophase?
It divides into two daughter cells
400
What is the purpose of mitosis?
To replace damaged cells and growth
400
What begins to form in this stage?
The spindle
400
What happens to the nucleus in metaphase?
It disappears
400
What pinches together at the center of the cell?

500
What are the stages of mitosis in order?
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and Telophase
500
What happens to the DNA in prophase?
They condense into chromosomes and become visible
500
What condenses in metaphase?
The cells genetic DNA
500
What are pulled apart in anaphase?
Identical (sister) chromosomes
500
What happens to the chromosomes in telophase?
The chromosomes begin to relax, unwind, and become chromatin (normal DNA) again.
