Phase of Mitosis

Answer 19

Metaphase

Question 20

Phase of Mitosis

Answer 20

Anaphase

Question 21

Phase of Mitosis

Answer 21

Telophase

Question 22

Explain cytokinesis

Answer 22

The division of the cytoplasm

Cleavage furrow appears and pinches the cell apart, ultimately creating two identical cells
