Question 3 • Biology

Which series of diagrams correctly represents the order of mitosis?

Answer

Image with description The steps of mitosis are shown. In step 1, the cell starts to break down structures. In step 2, the cell is divided. In step 3, the chromosomes line up at the center. In step 4, the chromatids separate from each other and are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

Explanation

Mitosis proceeds from the cell beginning to break down structures, to chromosomes lining up at the center, and then to sister chromatids separating toward opposite ends. The cell divides afterward, so the sequence in choice C is correct.
