metaphase

telephase

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Anaphase. After metaphase is complete, the cell enters anaphase. During anaphase, the microtubules attached to the kinetochores contract, which pulls the sister chromatids apart and toward opposite poles of the cell (Figure 3c).
Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -What happens at the anaphase stage of mitosis? During anaphase of mitosis, the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite ends of the cell. This occurs via the action of spindle fibers and microtubules that pull each chromosome apart at the centromere.
