Questions and Answers

What occurs during prophase of mitosis?

  • Nucleolus and nuclear membrane begin to disappear. (correct)
  • Cytoplasm divides into two identical cells.
  • Chromosomes undergo uncoiling and lengthening.
  • Chromosomes become visible and are arranged in the cell equator.

What is a key event that happens during metaphase?

  • Cytokinesis begins and divides the cytoplasm.
  • Chromosomes align at the cell's equator. (correct)
  • Chromosomes split longitudinally.
  • Centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell.

What is the function of nuclear pores?

  • To condense chromatin during cell division
  • To regulate passage of substances between nucleus and cytoplasm (correct)
  • To synthesize DNA
