Matching Pairs Mitosis MemoryOnline version Match the image of a cell to the correct stage of the cell cycle by Autumn Ash 1 The cell is carrying out normal metabolic functions. DNA is replicated during this phase. Interphase. 2 The cells completely divide due to the division of the cytoplasm. Cleavage furrow develops in animal cells. A cell plate forms in plant cells. Cytokinesis. 3 The chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell. Spindle fibers attach to the centromere. Metaphase. 4 Sister chromatids are pulled apart by the shortening of the spindle fibers towards the opposite ends of the cell. Anaphase. 5 The nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromatin condenses into chromosomes. The spindle fibers begin forming from the centrioles. Prophase. 6 The cell continues to pull apart. The nuclear envelope reappears and the chromosomes uncoil back. Telophase.
