QUESTION 48
With regard to the process of mitosis, which of the following pairs is NOT matched correctly?
Oa. Interphase - the cell grows, chromosomes replicate, and proteins are produced to prepare the
cell to divide
b. Prophase - chromosomes condense, and the nuclear membrane dissociates/breaks down
c. Metaphase - chromosomes move toward opposite poles (or sides) of the cell
d. Anaphase - sister chromatids separate
e. Telophase - two distinct nuclei are formed; this is the stage immediately before cytokinesis

Introduction :-

  • Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
  • The major purpose of mitosis is for growth and to replace worn out cells.
  • If not corrected in time, mistakes made during mitosis can result in changes in the DNA that can potentially lead to genetic disorders.
