4Why is Mitosis so important?
- AIt replicates our cells so that when we need new ones (i.e. if we get a cut, it can heal)
- BIt helps us to make clones of ourselves
- CIt is necessary
5What happens to DNA (chromosomes) in prophase?

7What occurs in anaphase?
- AChromosomes line up along the equator of the cell
- BChromosomes become visible and the nucleus and nuclear envelope disappear
- CChromosomes attach to spindle fibers which pull them apart (contract) and chromatids are pulled to each pole
8'Ana' stands for 'backwards' and so because the chromatids are pulled back it is called 'anaphase'
- ATrue
- BFalse
9What happens in telophase?
- AChromatids turn into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope reforms as does the nucleus.
