3

In which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope break down?
A) Prophase
B) Metaphase
C) Anaphase
D) Telophase

✅ A) Prophase

5

What structure is responsible for pulling sister chromatids apart during anaphase?

✅ Spindle Fibers

5

Name the phase of mitosis where the nuclear membrane re-forms around two separate sets of chromosomes.

✅ Telophase

5

What is the chronological order of stages in mitosis after interphase?

✅ Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase → Cytokinesis

5

What term describes the division of the cytoplasm wherein the cell separates into two daughter cells indicating the completion of mitosis?

✅ Cytokinesis

5

What structure holds sister chromatids together?

✅ Centromere

5

How many phases are in mitosis (excluding interphase)?

✅ Five (5)

5

How do spindle fibers attach to chromosomes?

✅ They attach to chromosomes at the kinetochore, a structure on the centromere

5

What is the role of spindle fibers during mitosis?

✅ They pull sister chromatids apart to opposite ends of the cell.

10

What is the main difference between prophase and metaphase?

✅ In prophase, chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down; in metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.

10

A cell is observed under a microscope. The chromosomes are condensed and aligned in the center, but not yet separated. Which phase is this?

✅ Metaphase

10

Describe what happens during the Anaphase stage in mitosis?

✅  The sister chromatids are pulled apart at the centromere. Spindle fibers shorten, pulling the separated chromatids toward opposite ends (poles) of the cell.

10

What happens to the chromosomes during prophase?

✅ The chromosomes condense and become more visible.
