|
|
Metaphase
|
|
|
Anaphase

|
Telophase

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During anaphase (b), the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase: During anaphase, the centromere splits, allowing the sister chromatids to separate. The kinetochore spindle fibers shorten, allowing for 46 of the newly-freed chromatids to be dragged to one end of the cell and the remaining 46 chromatids to be dragged to the opposite end of the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -During anaphase, each pair of chromosomes is separated into two identical, independent chromosomes. The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle.
