Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During mitosis chromosomes meet in the middle to get divided into two daughter cells in a phase called:
A
prophase
B
anaphase
C
metaphase
D
telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The stages of mitosis are: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metaphase. Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate, under tension from the mitotic spindle. The two sister chromatids of each chromosome are captured by microtubules from opposite spindle poles. In metaphase, the spindle has captured all the chromosomes and lined them up at the middle of the cell, ready to divide.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metaphase Metaphase is a stage during the process of cell division (mitosis or meiosis). Normally, individual chromosomes are spread out in the cell nucleus. During metaphase, the nucleus dissolves and the cell’s chromosomes condense and move together, aligning in the center of the dividing cell.
