The organic compounds that scientist use to cut, copy, and move segments of DNA are enzymes.

Explanation:

During the process related to DNA, the organic compound which is used in the process is called as enzymes. For each steps in the process, enzymes are employed. In order to cut the DNA into small pieces, a enzyme called restriction enzymes are used.

For copying the required DNA sequence, polymerase is used and to join the segmented DNA into a single strand DNA, ligase is used. All the three organic compounds used in the process are nothing but enzymes.

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
