Question

multiple choice question which stage of mitosis is depicted in the figure? prophase anaphase metaphase telophase need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

To determine the mitosis stage, we analyze each option:

• Prophase: Chromosomes condense, spindle forms, but chromosomes aren't aligned at the equator.
• Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
• Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane (metaphase plate) with spindle fibers attached. The figure shows chromosomes lined up in the middle, matching Metaphase.
• Telophase: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelopes reform.

Answer:

C. Metaphase
