| # | Definition | Sets |
| 1 | the final stage of mitosis or meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes | 30 sets |
| 2 | the final stage of mitosis | 27 sets |
| 3 | the final stage of meiosis when the chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle | 23 sets |
| 4 | fourth and final phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material | 21 sets |
| 5 | the final stage of mitosis or meiosis | 14 sets |
| 6 | the final stage of meiosis or mitosis, in which the separated chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the dividing cell and the nuclei of the daughter cells form around the two sets of chromosomes | 12 sets |
| 7 | last phase of mitosis, chromosome are in two new cells and nuclear membranes start to reform | 11 sets |
| 8 | final phase of mitosis during which new cells prepare for their own independent existence | 9 sets |
| 9 | the final stage of mitosis during which a nuclear membrane forms around each set of new chromosomes | 8 sets |
| 10 | after the chromosomes reach opposite ends of the cell, the spindle fibers disassemble and the chromosomes return to a less tightly coiled chromatin state | 7 sets |
| 11 | the cell membrane begins to pinch the cell in two as cytokinesis begins | 7 sets |
| 12 | final phase of mitosis | 6 sets |
| 13 | final stage of mitosis and of meiosis i and ii, in which the chromosomes reach the spindle poles, nuclear envelopes form around each set of daughter chromosomes, and the nucleoli reappear | 6 sets |
| 14 | the fifth and final stage of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun. | 6 sets |
| 15 | tear into two | 5 sets |
| 16 | the fourth and final step of mitosis | 5 sets |
| 17 | the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their shapes. two new nuclear membranes begin to form | 5 sets |
| 18 | last stage of mitosis in which nucleoli reappear. two new nuclear membranes begin to form, but the cell has not yet completely divided | 5 sets |
| 19 | the final stage of mitosis or meiosis, during which a nuclear membrane form around each set of new chromosomes | 5 sets |
| 20 | the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. two new nuclear membranes form. | 5 sets |
| 21 | chromosomes stretch out, nuclear membrane forms, and new nucleous appears | 4 sets |
| 22 | nuclear membrane reforms | 4 sets |
| 23 | chromosomes start to uncoil | 3 sets |
| 24 | chromosomes stop moving toward the poles. | 3 sets |
| 25 | chromosome gather at opposite ends and the cell loses its distinct shape | 3 sets |
| 26 | fourth and final phase of mitosis during which the chromosomes begin to disperse into a tangle of dense material | 3 sets |
| 27 | the final phase of mitosis | 3 sets |
| 28 | fourth phase of mitosis | 3 sets |
| 29 | 2 new nuclear envelopes form round the 2 groups of chromosomes at poles and the cell splits | 3 sets |
| 30 | new nuclear membrane forms | 3 sets |
| 31 | nuclear membrane reappears | 3 sets |
| 32 | chromosomes are at opposite ends of cell | 3 sets |
| 33 | last stage of mitosis in which nucleoli reappear | 3 sets |
| 34 | the fourth and final stage of mitosis, during which daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell; usually occurs together with cytokinesis. | 3 sets |
| 35 | nuclear membrane reforms around the chromatin | 3 sets |
| 36 | the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and lose their distinct shapes. two new nuclear envelopes will form. | 3 sets |
| 37 | spindle breaks down | 3 sets |
| 38 | final stage of mitosis and meiosis i and ii, in which the chromosomes reach the spindle poles, nuclear envelopes form around each set of daughter chromosomes, and the nucleoli reappear | 2 sets |
| 39 | the fifth and final stage of mitosis, in which daughter nuclei are forming and cytokinesis has typically begun | 2 sets |
| 40 | 1. chromosones become less visible and not organized. 2. nuclear envelope reapears atound each set of chromatids. | 2 sets |
