The first step in cell division is:

  1. division of the cytoplasm
  2. alignment of the centrioles
  3. duplication of the chromosomes
  4. formation of mitotic spindles
  5. dissolution of the nuclear membrane

Answer(s): C

  3. M
  4. 3M
  5. 4M

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

In mitosis, a cell divides to produce two identical cells with exact copies of the original genetic material. If the parent cell contains M chromosomes, then after mitosis the two daughter cells each contain exactly M chromosomes.
