3. natural selection
4. bottleneck effect

When a cell had been given a specific function in the body, this is called

4. Spindle fibers continue to pull the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell               

Prophase                                                                        

1. Nuclear membrane is beginning to dissolve while the centrioles are beginning to make their way to opposite poles
2. DNA is replicating
3. Cytokinesis occurs and nuclear membranes reform
4. Spindle fibers continue to pull the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell

Metaphase                                                      

1. Chromosomes line up at the beginning of the cell
2. DNA is replicating
3. Cytokinesis occurs and nuclear membranes reform

Anaphase                                                                       

1. Spindle fibers continue to pull the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell
2. Chromosomes line up at the beginning of the cell
3. DNA is replicating
4. Nuclear membrane is beginning to dissolve while the centrioles are beginning to make their way to opposite poles

Telophase                         

1. Cytokinesis occurs and nuclear membranes reform
2. Spindle fibers continue to pull the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell
3. Chromosomes line up at the beginning of the cell
