Mitosis Worksheet & Diagram Identification
Label the parts of the cell cycle diagram and briefly describe what is happening:
A Interphase- It is the growth and replication for DNA.
B G1- the growth of a cell
C S-DNA is replicated/copied
D G2-carries out normal functions and grows
E Prophase-the nuclear membrane begins to break down
F Metaphase-the sister chromatids line up along an equator line
G Anaphase-the chromatids begin to separate
H Telophase-some cells form while others divide
I Mitosis- the division of the cell’s nucleus
J Cytokinesis-the process that divides the cytoplasm
The Cell Cycle (Phases are in order)
Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Interphase
Directions: Answer the following questions in complete sentences and in a different color.
1. Chromosomes move to the middle of the cell during what phase?
The chromosomes move to the middle of the cell during the metaphase
2. What are sister chromatids?
Sister chromatids are two identical chromatids that are together.
3. What holds the chromatids together?
Centromere is what holds chromatids together.
4. When do the sister chromatids separate?
The sister chromatids separate during prophase.
5. During which phase do chromosomes first become visible?
Prophase is when chromosomes become visible.
6. During which phase does the cleavage furrow start forming?
Telophase is when cleavage furrow starts forming.
Complete the table by putting an X in the correct column for each statement.

x
daughter cells.
10. Chromosomes are duplicated x
11. DNA synthesis occurs x
12. Cytoplasm divides immediately after this period x

The Animal Cell Cycle – Phases are out of order for questions 15 - 21
Directions: Answer the following questions in complete sentences and in a different color.
14. Which cell is in metaphase?
C is the cell in this metaphase
15. Cells A and F show an early and late stage of the same phase of mitosis. What phase is it?
Prophase is the phase for cells A and F.
16. In cell A, what is the structure labeled X?
Centrioles is the structure that is labeled X.
17. In cell F, what is the structure labeled Y?
Spindle fibers is labeled in structure Y.
18. Which cell is not in a phase of mitosis?
D is not phase of mitosis.
19. A new membrane is forming in B. What is this phase called?
The new membrane that is forming in B is called telophase.
20. Sequence the six diagrams in order from first to last.
The six diagrams in order from first to last are D, A, F, E, C, B,
21. What is the end product of mitosis?
The end product of mitosis is two identical daughter cells.
22. If the original cell has 46 chromosomes, how can each new daughter cell also have 46 chromosomes?
Each new daughter cell can have 46 chromosomes because of S phase which means they are replicated.
23. What is the main difference between cell division in plants and animals?
The main difference between cell division in plants and animals are that animal cells form cleavage furrow while
plants form cell plate.
24. What is the purpose of mitosis?
The purpose of mitosis is healing(burns, cuts, scrapes, etc.), repairing, growth in height, and replacement of
cells.
25. When the rate of the cell cycle gets out of control, this happens: Diseases or viruses will overcome your body.
Directions: Identify which stage of mitosis each lettered plant cell is in and write your answer in the blanks.
A. _Interphase________________
B. _telophase________________
C. __anaphase_______________
D. __metaphase_______________
E. __prophase_______________
