Question

Match the phase of the cell cycle with the correct description by clicking and dragging the descriptions below to the right of the correct phase of mitosis. (Note: phases may not appear in the order in which they occur).(3 points)

Answer 1

I can’t click and drag here, but I can give the correct matches if you paste the list of descriptions. Meanwhile, here are the standard mitosis/cell‑cycle phases and the short descriptions you can use to match them:

- Interphase: Cell grows and duplicates its DNA (G1, S, G2; chromosomes are uncondensed).
- Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes; mitotic spindle begins to form; centrosomes move apart.
- Prometaphase: Nuclear envelope breaks down and spindle microtubules attach to kinetochores.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the cell’s equatorial/metaphase plate.
- Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and are pulled toward opposite spindle poles.
- Telophase: Chromosomes reach the poles, decondense, and new nuclear envelopes form.
- Cytokinesis: Cytoplasm divides (cleavage furrow in animal cells, cell plate in plant cells), producing two daughter cells.

If you paste the exact descriptions from your question, I’ll give the direct phase-for-description matches ready for you to drag.
