identify the anaphase, metaphase, prophase, and telophase stages of mitosis in the drawings labeled a, b, c, and d. prophase metaphase anaphase telophase d a b c

Explanation:

In prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope starts to break down. In metaphase, chromosomes line up at the cell - equator. In anaphase, sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles. In telophase, nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes and the cell begins to divide. Drawing A shows chromatin condensing, so it's prophase. Drawing B has chromosomes lined up, so it's metaphase. Drawing C shows chromatids separating, so it's anaphase. Drawing D shows the formation of two new nuclei and cell - division in progress, so it's telophase.

Answer:

A. Prophase
B. Metaphase
C. Anaphase
D. Telophase
