23 pairs, 46 chromosomes
Mitosis - ANSWER-Cell replication in eukaryotic cells
Prophase - ANSWER-The first and longest stage of mitosis. In this stage the
chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate and move to opposite poles
of the cell.
Metaphase - ANSWER-The second stage of mitosis. In this stage the chromosomes
line up across the center of the cell and become connected to the spindle fiber at their
centromere.
Anaphase - ANSWER-The third stage of mitosis. In this stage the sister chromatids
separate into individual chromosomes and are pulled apart.

chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct rod-like shapes.
Two new nuclear membranes then form around each of the two regions of DNA and the
spindle fibers disappear.
