_____________nucleus_ that contain the cell’s genetic material, DNA.
2. G Most of the life-cycle, of a “cell with a nucleus” is just_______ growing___ and making
_____copies______ of its organelles and its chromosomes. A typical life cycle of a cell is one
day long, but cell division (mitosis) takes of this only about 1 ¼ hours.
3. G Mitosis is the process of dividing the ______duplicated___ DNA of the cell into two new
____________nuclei___; and this is followed by cytokinesis in which the large cell with two
nuclei ____________splits______into two new cells.
4. G The first stage of mitosis is prophase, in which the nuclear membrane breaks__
___down_ and long strands of DNA organize themselves into condensed __chromosomes___.
5. G The second stage of mitosis is metaphase, in which _microtubles___ attach to the
chromosomes and the chromosomes get ______aligned_ in the middle.
6. G The third stage of mitosis is anaphase where the chromosomes __split___ as they are
____pulled__ to either side.
7. G The fourth stage is telophase where new nuclear membranes _reappear__ around the two
sets of chromosomes forming two nuclei within one cell. This is the __end_ of mitosis.

being a copy of the chromosome of one parent. In mitosis Every chromosome makes an
identical copy of itself and the identical two copies remain attached to each other at the centre,
forming an identical-pair. When chromosomes align in the middle during metaphase, there are
46 different “identical-pairs” aligned in the middle. When they separate, they form two

what is [wrong].

and [recycling] what cannot be used any more.
