What is the stage of mitosis where the chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell?
Metaphase
What is the result of the centromeres dividing during anaphase?
Sister chromatids separate
What is the stage of mitosis where the cytoplasm divides and the cell splits into two daughter cells?
Cytokinesis
What is the stage of mitosis where the nuclear envelope reforms?
Telophase
What is the function of spindle fibers during mitosis?
To attach to centromeres and separate sister chromatids
What is the stage of the cell cycle where the nuclear envelope re-forms around the two sets of chromosomes?
Telophase

Cytokinesis
During which stage of Mitosis do the Spindle Fibers contract and the chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase
What is the stage of the cell cycle where the chromatin condenses and the chromosomes become visible?
Prophase
In which stage of Mitosis do the chromosomes align at the center of the cell?
Metaphase
What is the stage of the cell cycle where the chromosomes are at the poles of the cell?
Telophase
This quiz covers the stages of cell division, specifically Anaphase and Telophase, including the separation of chromosomes and the re-formation of the nuclear envelope.
