To correctly order events during mitosis, we need to understand the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. It involves several stages, including prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
To determine the correct order of events during mitosis, let's analyze the answer choices:
1. Microtubules organize the chromosomes. The nuclear membrane dissolves. The mitotic spindle attaches to chromosomes.
2. The nuclear membrane dissolves. Microtubules organize the chromosomes. The mitotic spindle attaches to chromosomes.
3. The nuclear membrane dissolves. The mitotic spindle attaches to chromosomes. Microtubules organize the chromosomes.
4. The mitotic spindle attaches to chromosomes. Microtubules organize the chromosomes. The nuclear membrane dissolves.
Based on our knowledge of mitosis, the correct order of events is as follows:
1. The nuclear membrane dissolves.
2. Microtubules organize the chromosomes.
3. The mitotic spindle attaches to chromosomes.
Comparing the answer choices to the correct order, we can see that option 3, "The nuclear membrane dissolves. The mitotic spindle attaches to chromosomes. Microtubules organize the chromosomes," is the correct answer.
