The Cell Cycle Worksheet featuring matching and fill-in-the-blank questions to test understanding of mitosis phases.

Let’s go through the worksheet step by step.

---

Matching Section (1–17):

We match each description to the correct phase or term from the list:

A. Prophase
B. Interphase
C. Telophase
D. Metaphase
E. Anaphase

---

1. The sister chromatids are moving apart. → That happens in Anaphase → E

2. The nucleolus begins to fade from view. → Happens early in mitosis, in Prophase → A

3. A new nuclear membrane is forming around the chromosomes. → Happens at the end of mitosis, in Telophase → C

4. The cytoplasm of the cell is being divided. → That’s Cytokinesis, but it’s not listed in A–E. Wait — looking again, this might be referring to the process that often overlaps with telophase. But since Cytokinesis isn’t an option here, and the question says “match to the description” using only A–E, perhaps we need to think differently. Actually, in many worksheets, cytokinesis is grouped with telophase. But let’s check other options. Hmm — maybe this is a trick? Let’s hold and come back.

Wait — actually, looking at the full list, some questions refer to structures or processes beyond just phases. But for now, let’s continue.

Actually, re-reading: The matching section uses only A–E (Prophase, Interphase, Telophase, Metaphase, Anaphase). So question 4 must fit one of those. Cytoplasm division = cytokinesis — which typically occurs during telophase. So likely C. Telophase

But let’s verify with standard biology: Cytokinesis is separate from mitosis phases, but often taught alongside telophase. Since no other option fits, we’ll go with C

5. The chromosomes become invisible. → They decondense in Telophase → C

6. The chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell. → Classic Metaphase → D

7. The nuclear membrane begins to fade from view. → Early Prophase → A

8. The division (cleavage) furrow appears. → This is cytokinesis in animal cells — again, associated with Telophase → C

9. The chromosomes are moving towards the poles of the cell. → That’s Anaphase → E

10. Chromatids line up along the equator. → Metaphase → D

11. The spindle is formed. → Spindle forms in Prophase → A

12. Chromosomes are not visible. → In Interphase, DNA is chromatin, not condensed → B

13. Cytokinesis is completed. → After telophase, so still Telophase context → C

14. The cell plate is completed. → In plant cells, cell plate forms during cytokinesis → again, tied to Telophase → C

15. Chromosomes are replicated. → Happens in Interphase (S phase) → B

16. The reverse of prophase. → Prophase: nucleus breaks down, chromosomes condense. Reverse = nucleus reforms, chromosomes uncoil → Telophase → C

17. The organization phase → This likely refers to Metaphase, where chromosomes organize at equator → D

Wait — let’s double-check #17. “Organization phase” — metaphase is when chromosomes align, so yes, D.

Now, let’s compile:

1. E
2. A
3. C
4. C (cytoplasm division → cytokinesis → linked to telophase)
5. C
6. D
7. A
8. C
9. E
10. D
11. A
12. B
13. C
14. C
15. B
16. C
17. D

Fill in the Blank Section (18–27):

Options:
A. Prophase
B. Interphase
C. Telophase
D. Metaphase
E. Anaphase
F. Centromere
G. Chromatid
H. Cytokinesis
I. Mitosis
J. Spindle fiber
K. Cell plate

Note: Some answers may repeat.

18. What phase are daughter cells in as a result of mitosis? → After mitosis, cells enter Interphase → B

19. During what phase of mitosis do centromeres divide and chromosomes move toward their respective poles? → Anaphase → E

20. What is the phase where chromatin condenses to form chromosomes? → Prophase → A

21. What is the name of the structure that connects the two chromatids? → Centromere → F

22. In a chromosome pair connected by a centromere, what is each individual chromosome called? → Each is a Chromatid → G

23. What are the two parts of cell division? → Mitosis (nuclear division) and Cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division) → H (since I is mitosis, H is cytokinesis — so answer is H and I, but blank is one line — probably expects “Cytokinesis and Mitosis” but since it’s fill-in-the-blank with letters, and instruction says “some will be used more than once”, likely they want the letter for cytokinesis since mitosis is implied? Wait — question says “two parts”, so maybe they expect both. But format is one blank. Looking at the worksheet, it’s written as:

“_______ 23. What are the two parts of cell division?”

Probably expects “Mitosis and Cytokinesis” — but since we have to pick from letters, and I is Mitosis, H is Cytokinesis — but only one blank. Hmm. Maybe the answer is “H and I” but that’s not standard. Alternatively, perhaps they consider “cell division” as including both, and the blank is for the second part? No.

Wait — looking back at the original image description, it says “Fill in the blank: Some will be used more than once.” So for question 23, it’s asking for two things, but there’s only one blank line. That suggests maybe the answer is expected to be a phrase, but the instructions say to use the letters. Perhaps it’s a typo, or perhaps they want “Cytokinesis” as the other part besides mitosis. But mitosis is already mentioned in the question? No, the question says “what are the two parts”, so likely the answer should be “Mitosis and Cytokinesis”. But since we have to choose from the list, and the blank is single, perhaps the intended answer is H (Cytokinesis), assuming mitosis is understood. But that doesn’t make sense.

Alternatively, maybe the blank is for the term that completes the sentence, but the sentence is “What are the two parts...” — so perhaps the answer is not a single letter. But the worksheet has blanks before each question number, suggesting we write the letter.

Looking at similar worksheets, often for “two parts of cell division”, they expect “mitosis and cytokinesis”, and since both are in the list, but the blank is one, perhaps it’s poorly designed. However, in many contexts, “cell division” refers to the whole process, and the two parts are nuclear division (mitosis) and cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). Since the question is phrased as “what are the two parts”, and we have to fill one blank, I think the safest is to put H for Cytokinesis, implying the other is mitosis. But let’s see the next questions.

Perhaps I should look for consistency. Let’s skip and come back.

24. What structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes move? → Spindle fiber → J

25. Which phase of mitosis is the last phase that chromatids are together? → Before anaphase, in metaphase, chromatids are still attached. In anaphase, they separate. So last phase they are together is Metaphase → D

26. Which phase of the cell cycle is characterized by a non-dividing cell? → Interphase is when the cell is not dividing (it’s growing, replicating DNA) → B

27. What structure is produced when protein fibers radiate from? → In prophase, spindle fibers radiate from centrosomes. The structure is the Spindle fiber itself? Or the aster? But the option is J. Spindle fiber. The question says “what structure is produced when protein fibers radiate from” — it’s a bit poorly worded. Probably means “what structure is formed by protein fibers radiating” — which is the spindle apparatus, but the closest is Spindle fiber → J

Back to 23: Given that, and since mitosis is option I, and cytokinesis is H, and the question asks for “the two parts”, but there’s only one blank, I think there might be a mistake. However, in many educational contexts, when they say “parts of cell division”, and list mitosis and cytokinesis, and if forced to choose one for a blank, they might expect “cytokinesis” as the complementary part. But let’s think: the cell cycle includes interphase and mitotic phase, and the mitotic phase includes mitosis and cytokinesis. So the two parts of the mitotic phase are mitosis and cytokinesis. Since the question says “cell division”, it might mean the mitotic phase. So answer should be I and H. But since it’s one blank, perhaps the worksheet expects us to write “H and I” or something. But the format is to put a letter.

Looking at the original image text: “23. What are the two parts of cell division?” and then a blank. In some worksheets, they might expect “mitosis and cytokinesis” written out, but here we have to use the letters. Perhaps it’s a error, but for accuracy, I’ll assume they want the letter for cytokinesis, as mitosis is already covered in other questions. But that’s not logical.

Another idea: perhaps “cell division” here refers to the entire process, and the two parts are nuclear division and cytoplasmic division, so mitosis and cytokinesis. Since the blank is after the question number, and in the matching section they used single letters, likely for fill-in-the-blank they also expect single letters. But for 23, it’s impossible with one letter. Unless the answer is “I and H”, but that’s not standard.

Perhaps I misread. Let me check the user's input: "23. What are the two parts of cell division?" and then a blank line. In the context, since it's "fill in the blank", and the options include both, but the instruction says "some will be used more than once", it's possible that for this question, they expect two letters, but the format doesn't show that. To resolve, I recall that in some curricula, "cell division" is synonymous with mitosis, but that's not accurate.

Upon second thought, in biology, cell division consists of two main events: mitosis (division of the nucleus) and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm). So the answer should be both. But since the worksheet has only one blank per question, and for consistency with other questions, I think there might be a flaw. However, looking at question 27, it's similar.

Perhaps for 23, the intended answer is H (Cytokinesis), assuming that mitosis is the first part, and they want the second. But that's speculative.

Let's look for clues in the worksheet. Question 4 in matching was "the cytoplasm of the cell is being divided" which we answered as C (Telophase), but technically it's cytokinesis. Similarly, here, for 23, they might expect "Cytokinesis" as the answer, implying the other part is mitosis.

I think for accuracy, since the question says "the two parts", and we have to provide an answer, I'll go with H for Cytokinesis, as it's the counterpart to mitosis.

But let's see the final answers we have so far for fill-in-the-blank:

18. B
19. E
20. A
21. F
22. G
23. ? (let's say H for now)
24. J
25. D
26. B
27. J

For 27: "What structure is produced when protein fibers radiate from" — it's cut off, but probably "from the centrosomes" or something. The structure is the spindle fibers, so J.

Now, to confirm 23: upon double-checking standard knowledge, the two parts of cell division are indeed mitosis and cytokinesis. Since the worksheet likely expects a single letter, and given that in the list, H is Cytokinesis, and I is Mitosis, but the question is "what are the two parts", it's ambiguous. However, in many multiple-choice or fill-in contexts, they might phrase it as "the other part besides mitosis is..." but here it's not.

Perhaps the blank is for the term that is not mitosis, so cytokinesis. I'll go with H.

So final fill-in-the-blank:

18. B
19. E
20. A
21. F
22. G
23. H
24. J
25. D
26. B
27. J

But for 23, I'm still unsure. Let's think differently: perhaps "cell division" refers to the M phase, which includes mitosis and cytokinesis, so the two parts are I and H. But since it's one blank, maybe the answer is "I and H", but the format doesn't allow. Given the constraints, and to match the worksheet's style, I'll stick with H for cytokinesis, as it's the division of the cytoplasm, complementing mitosis.

Alternatively, in some contexts, "cell division" means the process of dividing the cell, which is cytokinesis, but that's not accurate because mitosis is also part of it.

I recall that in some textbooks, cell division is divided into karyokinesis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis. Karyokinesis is mitosis. So again, two parts.

For the sake of completing, I'll use H for 23.

Now, compiling all answers.

23. H
24. J
25. D

Note: For question 23, if the worksheet expects both, it might be an issue, but based on common practice, H is chosen for cytokinesis as the other part of cell division besides mitosis.

Also, for matching question 4, "the cytoplasm of the cell is being divided" — this is cytokinesis, which is not in A-E, but since telophase is when it typically occurs, C is acceptable.

Similarly, for 8, "division (cleavage) furrow appears" — also cytokinesis, so C.

For 13 and 14, same reason.

So I think this is correct.
