Indicate when each event occurs by placing the name of the stage in the blank. You can choose: Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase or telophase.
1. The nucleolus disappears.
2. Sister chromatids are lined up at the center of the cell.
3. The DNA of the cell is replicated.
4. Chromosomes coil and thicken and first become visible as individual structures.
5. Cytokinesis occurs.
6. The nuclear membrane fragments.
7. The cell doubles the number of organelles.
8. The mitotic spindle begins to form.

10. The cell is not actually dividing but carrying out normal cell activities.
11. The nucleolus returns.
12. Centrosomes begin to move to opposite sides of the cell.
13. Chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell.
