Sagot :

The stages of the cell division at which each process occur would be as follows:

  • Chromatin condenses into chromosomes - prophase
  • chromosomes align in the center of the cell - metaphase
  • The longest part of the cell cycle - interphase
  • the nuclear envelope breaks - prophase
  • the cell is cleaved into two new daughter cells - cytokinesis
  • daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles - telophase

The cell cycle is characterized by two major events:

  1. The interphase
  2. The m phase

The cell prepares itself at the interphase by growing and increasing in volume, synthesizing DNA and proteins. Thus, the interphase takes a large chunk of the entire cycle.

The m phase represents mitosis. It is characterized by the following phases:

  • Prophase: nuclear envelope dissolves, chromatin condenses to become chromosomes
  • metaphase: chromosomes align at the center of the cell. Each chromosome gets engaged by spindles
  • anaphase: chromosomes are pulled apart by spindles. Sister chromatids start moving to opposite poles
  • telophase: migration to the pole is completed by chromatids

Once the chromatids reach poles, they decondense and a nuclear envelope emerges to surround them. The cytoplasm then divides to give rise to 2 daughter cells in a process known as cytokinesis.
