metaphase

anaphase

telophase

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The separated chromosomes are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell. Anaphase ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes, and it is followed by the fifth and final phase of mitosis, known as telophase .
Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase I: In anaphase I, the attachment of the spindle fibers is complete. The homologous chromosomes are pulled apart and move towards opposite ends of the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Metaphase. During metaphase, spindle fibers attach to the centromere of each pair of sister chromatids (see Figure below). The sister chromatids line up at the equator, or center, of the cell. This is also known as the metaphase plate.
