Question

Match the following. 1. the cell that begins the process of cell division telophase 2. the first part of mitosis in which the chromosomes shorten and thicken, the nucleolus breaks down, and the nuclear envelope disintegrates sister chromatids 3. two rod-like strands replicated by a chromosome during interphase; becomes a daughter chromosome by the end of cell division prophase 4. a system of fibers stretching from one end of a mitotic cell to the other parent cell 5. the phase of mitosis in which the daughter chromosomes have reached opposite ends of the cell, the nuclear envelope and nucleolus reform, and the process of cytokinesis begins spindle apparatus

Answer 1

Below are the statements matched to their correct term:

1. The cell that begins the process of cell division- PARENT CELL

2. The first part of mitosis in which the chromosomes shorten and thicken, the nucleolus breaks down, and the nuclear envelope disintegrates - PROPHASE

3. Two rod-like strands replicated by a chromosome during interphase; becomes a daughter chromosome by the end of cell division- SISTER CHROMATIDS

4. a system of fibers stretching from one end of a mitotic cell to the other -SPINDLE APPARATUS

5. The phase of mitosis in which the daughter chromosomes have reached opposite ends of the cell, the nuclear envelope and nucleolus reform, and the process of cytokinesis begins - TELOPHASE

Answer 2

The correct answer will be options-

1. Parent cell

2. Prophase

3. Sister chromatids

4. Spindle fibers

5. Telophase

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell division takes place through two ways: mitosis and meiosis which proceeds through the same phases in both the types.

The process begins with the interphase in which cell prepares itself for the division and M-phase which divides the genetic material of the cell followed by the cytokinesis.

The cell which undergoes the cell division is known as the parent cell whereas the cell which is produced is known as the daughter cells.

The genetic material starts condensing during the prophase and completely condenses at the metaphase. The chromosomes are formed by the attachment of the sister chromatids which gets separated with the help of spindle fibres which originates from the poles of the cell.

The spindle fibres help separate the chromosomes during anaphase which completes during the telophase marked by the chromosome at the end of the cell.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
