Which of the following is mismatched?
anaphase--sister chromatids are pulled to separate ends of the cell
metaphase -- chromosomes line up at the center of the cell
telophase -- nuclear envelope is breaking down; chromosomes are condensing
interphase -- cell is going about its daily business, at the end DNA is duplicated and starts condensing
The Correct Answer is C
A. anaphase – sister chromatids are pulled to separate ends of the cell: During anaphase, sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
B. metaphase – chromosomes line up at the center of the cell: In metaphase, chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.
C. telophase – nuclear envelope is breaking down; chromosomes are condensing: In telophase, the nuclear envelope is reforming, and chromosomes are de-condensing into chromatin. The description given fits prophase, not telophase.
D. interphase – cell is going about its daily business, at the end DNA is duplicated and starts condensing: During interphase, the cell grows and replicates DNA in preparation for mitosis.

C. Decreases in blood pressure cause a corresponding decrease in heart rate:
A decrease in blood pressure should cause the heart rate to increase (compensatory response).
D. As blood pressure falls, blood flow to the heart decreases:
The body usually increases heart rate and vasoconstriction to maintain cardiac output.
