Question

1.) a Chromosomes decondense into an extended state at which point in the cell cycle? Select one: a. At the end of telophase. b. At the end of prophase. c. At the beginning of metaphase. d. At the end of interphase.

b) Which of the following is not considered a phase of mitosis?

Select one:

a. None of these answers.

b. Anaphase.

c. Metaphase.

d. Prophase.

e. Interphase.

Answer 1

Question

1. Chromosome condensation begin during the prophase stage of the cell division and keep on condensing at metaphase. The chromosomes start decondensing at the end of telophase. Hence option a is correct.

2. Interphase is not considered as a part of mitosis because in this phase the cell only prepare itself for the process of mitosis but not start the process of mitosis. The mitosis have 4 important phase which are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Hence, option e is correct.
