Question

The image shows the process of mitotic division that takes place in various organisms during asexual reproduction.



Drag the description of the step from the column on the left to the step number on the right to which each description applies.

Choices

chromosomes move to line up in the middle of the cell (metaphase)
division of a cell forms two identical daughter cells (anaphase)
duplication of the parent’s genetic material (interphase)
Answers

step 1
step 2
step 3

Answer 1

To match the choices with the steps in mitotic division, you would arrange them as follows:

- **Step 1:** Duplication of the parent’s genetic material (interphase)
- **Step 2:** Chromosomes move to line up in the middle of the cell (metaphase)
- **Step 3:** Division of a cell forms two identical daughter cells (anaphase)

So, the completed pairing would be:

- Step 1: duplication of the parent’s genetic material (interphase)
- Step 2: chromosomes move to line up in the middle of the cell (metaphase)
- Step 3: division of a cell forms two identical daughter cells (anaphase)
