Question
I. DNA replicates
II. Chromatin condenses.
III. Cell continues to grow.
IV. Nuclear membrane breaks down
V. Chromosomes line up at equator
Using the statements above, place the events leading up to anaphase in cell division of an animal cell in correct order.
Responses
A I - III - II - IV - VI - III - II - IV - V
B III - IV - II - I - VIII - IV - II - I - V
C I - II - III - IV - VI - II - III - IV - V
D II - I - III - IV - VII - I - III - IV - V
The events listed above describe the various stages and processes that occur during cell division, specifically in eukaryotic cells undergoing mitosis. The correct order of these events should reflect the steps leading from interphase through prophase, metaphase, and up to the beginning of anaphase. Here's the correct order:
1. Cell continues to grow (III) - This happens during interphase, which is the period of growth and normal metabolic roles before mitosis begins.
2. DNA replicates (I) - This also happens during interphase (specifically in the S phase) before the cell actually starts to divide.
3. Chromatin condenses (II) - This event marks the beginning of prophase, where chromatin fibers become more tightly coiled into visible chromosomes.
4. Nuclear membrane breaks down (IV) - During late prophase or prometaphase, the nuclear envelope breaks down so the spindle fibers can interact with the chromosomes.
5. Chromosomes line up at equator (V) - This takes place during metaphase, with the chromosomes aligning along the metaphase plate of the cell.
None of the options provided (A, B, C, D) completely match the correct sequence of events leading up to anaphase.
However, constructing the correct sequence based on the statements listed would yield the following: III - I - II - IV - V.
It seems the orders provided are all incorrect; it's possible there is an error in the options, or perhaps the text "5 of 245 of 24 Items" and the time "38:30" are indicative of missing or additional information that could change the interpretation of the options listed. Nevertheless, without any additional context, none of the responses A, B, C, or D accurately depict the correct order of events leading up to anaphase in cell division.
