The following are microscope images of cells going through a cell division process. Use your knowledge
on the topic to put the images below in an order that makes sense. In the space beneath the photos
write a justification for your order.

Identify the six different phases by name. Record characteristics that you used to determine what the
order is for each phase. (how do you know which is which)

A is interphase, F is prophase, E is metaphase, C is anaphase, D is telophase and B is cytokinesis.

Explanation:

A is interphase because the nucleus of the cell is in a spherical shape and the chromatin hasn't condensed into chromosomes yet.

F is prophase because the chromatin condensed into chromsomes.

E is metaphase because you can see in the equator of the cell that the chromosomes lined up, and is ready for separation.

C is anaphase because the spindle fibers from centrioles are connected to kinetochores of the chromosomes, and the chromosomes are getting pulled apart.

D is telophahse because the chromosomes are retracted to the opposite poles of the cell.

B is cytokinesis because there is a cleavage furrow forming in between the cell, and it looks like the cell will divide completely soon.

Hope this helped!

they fuse to form they have half as many chromosomes as a somatic cell of the same individual. b
