Question

(Number 15)Which phase of mitosis during growth and development demonstrates the communication and exchange of genetic information by aligning chromosomes in the middle of the cell?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: 2.metaphase.

Mitosis is a process of cell division and it is separatd into phases.

• Interphase-DNA replication (two identical full sets of chromosomes),

• Prophase-chromosomes composed of two sister chromatids with identical genetic information,

• Metaphase- chromosomes line up along the centre of the cell,

• Anaphase- chromatids are pulled apart by the mitotic spindle (one chromatid to one pole and the other chromatid to the opposite pole),

• Telophase- a full set of chromosomes at each pole of the cell.
