2. What is the phase of mitosis when the chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down?

Explanation

In prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible, while the nuclear envelope breaks down to allow the chromosomes to move freely within the cell.

Submit
3. During which phase of Mitosis do the chromosomes align at the center of the cell?

Explanation

During Metaphase, the chromosomes align at the center of the cell before separating and moving towards opposite ends during Anaphase.

Submit
4. During which phase of Mitosis do the sister chromatids separate and begin moving towards opposite poles of the cell?

Explanation

During Anaphase of Mitosis, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers, ensuring each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Submit
5. What is the phase of Mitosis when the nuclear envelope reappears and chromosomes decondense?

Explanation

During telophase, the nuclear envelope reappears and chromosomes decondense, marking the end of mitosis.

Submit
6. What is the phase of mitosis?

Explanation

Mitosis consists of four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Interphase is actually the phase that precedes mitosis.
