- With regard to the process of mitosis, which of the following pairs is NOT matched correctly? a. Interphase - the cell grows, chromosomes replicate, and proteins are produced to prepare the cell to divide Ob. Prophase - chromosomes condense, and the nuclear membrane dissociates/breaks down c. Metaphase - chromosomes move toward opposite poles (or sides) of the cell d. Anaphase - sister chromatids separate e. Telophase - two distinct nuclei are formed; this is the stage immediately before cytokinesis O O Oarrow_forwardFor most dividing cells in a diploid organism, the time spent in mitosis is approximately 4% of the total time of the cell cycle. In a population of continually dividing cells isolated from this organism, most of the cells would... A.have highly condensed chromatin. B. be in interphase (G1 or S or G2). C. be in mitosis. D. be in meiosis.arrow_forwardThe use of chemotherapy drugs that interfere with the cell cycle is avoided during pregnancy. This is because they: a. Ingibit the synthesis of proteins by the mitochondria. b. Block the production of ATP by the ribosomes. c. Interfere with the ability of the fetal cells to replicate. d. Cause nondisjunction of the chromosomes, causing fetal cells to have two of each chromosome instead of three.arrow_forward
