blanks with the correct terms. If a number is repeated, that means that the missing word is the same word as all the other blanks with the same number. After going through Interphase, the cell goes into !" _________________ phase and then #" _______________. $itosis is the di%ision of the &" _______________, and c'tokinesis is the di%ision of the (" __________________. )he first stage of mitosis is *" __________________. Se%eral important things happen in this stage. )he chromatin +" _____________ to form chromosomes. )his is down b' wrapping around ," ______________________ and b' the use of a protein called -" _________________. Also essential to holding chromosomes together is ." ___________, which is responsible for holding sister chromatids together. )he formation of !/" ______________________ from the disassembl' of the c'toskeleton also occurs within this phase. )he second stage of mitosis is !!" ____________________, but is sometimes included within prophase. In this phase, spindle fibers attach to chromosomes at the !#" _________________, which are located on the chromosome0s !&" __________________. )hen, the spindle fibers start pulling chromosomes back in forth toward the center of the cell in a process known as !(" ________________. )his process is not totall' completed until !*" __________________, at which point the chromosomes are aligned on the cellular e1uator, called the !+" _____________________. If the chromosomes are not properl' aligned, !," _________________ can occur, which is when a cell has an abnormal amount of chromosomes. )he protein essential in pre%enting this is !-" _______. )he fourth stage of mitosis is !." _________________. )his cannot happen without #/" _____________, an en2'me that denatures cohesin. 3ith cohesin destro'ed, spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores and pull the sister chromatids towards #!" _______________________. )his process is more specificall' referred to as ##" ______________________. 4nattached microtubules press against each other and push the poles further awa', which is described as #&" ________________________. )he last stage of mitosis is #(" _____________, in which the mitotic spindles disassemble, chromosomes decondense, and the daughter cells return to interphase condition. After $ phase, the cell enters #*" __________________, which is the partitioning of the cell c'toplasm. )he process in animal cells is performed b' a #+" ________________,

which is composed of #," ________ and ___________ filaments. )he protein responsible for the assembl' of the filaments is #-" ________. In plant cells, c'tokinesis is different. A new cell wall is formed from 5olgi6deri%ed carboh'drate %esicles that fuse at the #." ________________. )he carboh'drate %esicles are guided there b' &/" _____________________.
