Answer
Interphase
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Growth of cytoplasm
Question 3
Question
What disappears during prophase?
Answer
Nuclear envelope
Nucleus
Chromosomes
Spindle Fibres
Question 4
Question
Why is Mitosis so important?
Answer
It replicates our cells so that when we need new ones (i.e. if we get a cut, it can heal)
It helps us to make clones of ourselves
It is necessary

Answer
It becomes invisible
It becomes visible
It disappears
Question 6
Question
What happens to the chromosomes during metaphase?
Answer
They line up along the equator of the cell
They go to each corner of the cell
They split
Question 7
Question
What occurs in anaphase?
Answer
Chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell
Chromosomes become visible and the nucleus and nuclear envelope disappear
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers which pull them apart (contract) and chromatids are pulled to each pole
Question 8
Question
'Ana' stands for 'backwards' and so because the chromatids are pulled back it is called 'anaphase'
Answer
True
False
Question 9
Question
What happens in telophase?
Answer
Chromatids turn into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope reforms as does the nucleus.
Chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell.
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibres which contract and pull apart the chromatids pulling them to each end of the cell.
