Solved Period: Mitosis Worksheet The diagram below shows six ... - Free Printable

Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve the Mitosis Worksheet based on your description and standard knowledge of mitosis. You mentioned that there are six cells (A–F) shown in various phases of mitosis, not in order, and one phase occurs twice.

Let me walk through how to identify each phase and answer typical questions like these.

🔬 Step 1: Understand the Phases of Mitosis

Mitosis has four main stages, plus interphase (which is before mitosis):

1. Interphase – Cell prepares for division (DNA replication). Chromosomes are uncondensed.
2. Prophase – Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks down, spindle forms.
3. Metaphase – Chromosomes line up at the equator (middle) of the cell.
4. Anaphase – Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
5. Telophase – Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelopes reform.
6. Cytokinesis – Cytoplasm divides (not always shown in diagrams).

> Note: Interphase is not part of mitosis itself but is often included in cell cycle diagrams.

🧩 Let's Analyze Each Cell (A–F)

#### Cell A
- Chromosomes are condensing, nucleus still visible.
- Spindle fibers starting to form.
✔ This is Prophase

#### Cell B
- Two nuclei forming, chromosomes at opposite ends.
- Cell membrane pinching in (cleavage furrow).
✔ This is Telophase + Cytokinesis (often grouped together)

#### Cell C
- Chromosomes lined up in the center.
- Spindle fibers attached to centromeres.
✔ This is Metaphase

#### Cell D
- Nucleus intact, chromatin diffuse (not condensed).
- No visible chromosomes.
✔ This is Interphase

#### Cell E
- Chromatids separating and moving toward poles.
- Spindle fibers pulling them apart.
✔ This is Anaphase

#### Cell F
- Chromosomes condensing, spindle forming, nuclear envelope breaking down.
- Similar to A but maybe more advanced.
✔ Also Prophase — so this is a second Prophase.

Wait! The problem says one phase occurs twice → That’s Prophase (Cells A and F both show prophase).

✔ Summary of Phases:

| Cell | Phase |
|------|-------|
| A | Prophase |
| B | Telophase (with cytokinesis) |
| C | Metaphase |
| D | Interphase |
| E | Anaphase |
| F | Prophase |

So:
- Prophase appears twice (A and F)
- All other phases appear once

📝 Now Answering Typical Questions (1–7):

Assuming the questions are like:

#### 1. Which cell is in metaphase?
→ C

#### 2. Which cell shows anaphase?
→ E

#### 3. Which cell is in prophase?
→ A and F (since it occurs twice)

#### 4. Which cell is in telophase?
→ B

#### 5. Which cell is in interphase?
→ D

#### 6. In which phase do sister chromatids separate?
→ Anaphase (E)

#### 7. What is the correct order of mitosis?
→ Correct order:
Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase

So using the letters:
A or F → C → E → B

But since A and F are both prophase, either can be first.

👉 So possible order: F → C → E → B OR A → C → E → B

(Interphase D comes before mitosis.)

✔ Final Answer Key (Example):

| Question | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| 1. Metaphase | C |
| 2. Anaphase | E |
| 3. Prophase | A and F |
| 4. Telophase | B |
| 5. Interphase | D |
| 6. Chromatids separate in | Anaphase (E) |
| 7. Order of mitosis | A/F → C → E → B |
