Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The shortest of all the phases. Centromeres line up among the imaginary plate. Spindle fibers connect the centromere of each chromosome to the two pairs.
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In anaphase, the shortest stage of mitosis, the sister chromatids break apart, and the chromosomes begin moving to opposite ends of the cell. By the end of anaphase, the 2 halves of the cell have an equivalent collection of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase is the shortest phase of mitosis. In anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell. In metaphase, chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate.

Detailed explanation-3: -The shortest phase of mitosis is anaphase, which comes after metaphase. In this phase, the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metaphase takes a short amount of time to complete. Telophase is the next to the shortest phase of mitosis after anaphase.
