The stage of mitosis characterized by microtubules pulling replicated chromosomes apart and separating them into sister chromatids is anaphase.

Which stage of mitosis is characterized by microtubules pulling replicated chromosomes apart and separating them into sister chromatids?(1 point) Responses prophase prophase anaphase anaphase telophase telophase metaphase

The correct response is anaphase. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers, moving them toward opposite poles of the cell.

In which mitotic phase does the process of cytokinesis conclude?(1 point) Responses interphase interphase prophase prophase telophase telophase metaphase

Cytokinesis concludes during the phase of telophase. In telophase, the nuclear membranes begin to reform around the separated sets of chromosomes, and cytokinesis usually finishes around the same time, resulting in two distinct daughter cells.

What is the name given to the process by which a parent cell becomes two identical daughter cells?(1 point) Responses meiosis meiosis mitosis mitosis senescence senescence differentiation

The process by which a parent cell becomes two identical daughter cells is called mitosis.

A scientist looks into a microscope and sees that replicated chromosome pairs are lined up in the center of a cell. The scientist then sees the mitotic spindle from each side of the cell attach to a chromosome. Which mitotic phase is the scientist likely witnessing?(1 point) Responses metaphase metaphase prophase prophase anaphase anaphase telophase

The scientist is likely witnessing metaphase. During metaphase, replicated chromosome pairs are aligned at the cell's equatorial plane, and the mitotic spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes.
