Name the stage in which the following events oceur. Interphase is included. __ 2.Pairs of sister chromatids become attached to the spindle fibers. __ 3. The chromosomes condense and thicken and are now scen as separate distinct structu __ 4. A cleavage furrow or a cell plate forms to divide the cytoplasm into two parts. __ 5. The pairs of sister chromatids are lined up at the center of the cell. __ 6. The cell prepares for division by replicating the chromosomes. __ 7. The nucleolus disappears. __ 8. The chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of the cell. __ 9. The cell increases its size as well as the number of enzymes and cytoplasmic organelle __ 10. The nuclear membrane begins to break apart allowing the microtubules to reach the pa of chromatids. __ 11. The nuclear membrane reforms and the nucleolus returns. __ 12. The cell assembles the special structures needed for cell division. __ 13. Cytokinesis occurs. __ 14. The centrioles first begin to move to opposite sides of the cell.

2. **Metaphase:** Sister chromatids attach to spindle fibers at their centromeres.<br /><br />3. **Prophase:** Chromosomes condense and become visible as distinct structures.<br /><br />4. **Telophase/Cytokinesis:** A cleavage furrow (in animal cells) or cell plate (in plant cells) forms, dividing the cytoplasm.<br /><br />5. **Metaphase:** Sister chromatids align at the cell's equator (metaphase plate).<br /><br />6. **Interphase (S phase):** DNA replication occurs, duplicating the chromosomes.<br /><br />7. **Prophase:** The nucleolus disappears as the nucleus prepares to break down.<br /><br />8. **Anaphase:** Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.<br /><br />9. **Interphase (G1 phase):** The cell grows in size and increases its organelle and enzyme content.<br /><br />10. **Prometaphase (Late Prophase):** The nuclear membrane fragments, allowing spindle fibers to interact with chromosomes.<br /><br />11. **Telophase:** The nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes, and the nucleolus reappears.<br /><br />12. **Interphase (G2 phase):** The cell synthesizes proteins and structures needed for cell division.<br /><br />13. **Cytokinesis:** The division of the cytoplasm, completing cell division. While it often overlaps with telophase, it is a distinct process.<br /><br />14. **Prophase:** Centrioles (in animal cells) begin migrating to opposite poles of the cell, establishing the poles of the spindle apparatus.<br />
