Question

I. DNA replicates
II. Chromatin condenses.
III. Cell continues to grow.
IV. Nuclear membrane breaks down
V. Chromosomes line up at equator

Using the statements above, place the events leading up to anaphase in cell division of an animal cell in correct order.
Responses
A I - III - II - IV - VI - III - II - IV - V
B III - IV - II - I - VIII - IV - II - I - V
C I - II - III - IV - VI - II - III - IV - V
D II - I - III - IV - V

Answer 1

The correct order is: D) II - I - III - IV - V

II. Chromatin condenses (chromosomes become visible)
I. DNA replicates (each chromosome duplicates)
III. Cell continues to grow (cell increases in size)
IV. Nuclear membrane breaks down (disintegration of the nuclear envelope)
V. Chromosomes line up at equator (align in the center of the cell for division)
