Interphase
At what stage of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase
Are gametes haploid or diploid?

Anaphase 1
In what phase of meiosis does the nuclear envelope disappear and the chromosomes condense to become more visable?
Prophase 1
Does the following statement describe mitosis or meiosis? The chromosomes separate and the nucleus divides to create two new genetically identical daughter cells.
