Stage
Interphase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Prophase
Telophase
Key Event
Chromosomes condense; spindle forms; nuclear envelope breaks down
Sister chromatids pulled to opposite poles
Chromosomes align at cell equator; centromeres divide
DNA replication; cell growth between divisions
Nuclear envelopes reform; spindle breaks down; centrioles replicate
Correct Answer
(1) Interphase,DNA replication; cell growth between divisions
(2) Prophase,Chromosomes condense; spindle forms; nuclear envelope breaks down
(3) Metaphase,Chromosomes align at cell equator; centromeres divide
(4) Anaphase,Sister chromatids pulled to opposite poles
(5) Telophase,Nuclear envelopes reform; spindle breaks down; centrioles replicate
Explanation
Summary of mitotic stages and their key events:
| Stage | Key Event |
|---|---|
| Interphase | DNA replication and cell growth |
| Prophase | Chromosomes condense; spindle forms; nuclear envelope breaks down |
| Metaphase | Chromosomes align at equator; centromeres divide |
| Anaphase | Sister chromatids pulled to opposite poles |
| Telophase | Nuclear envelopes reform; spindle breaks down |
