What happens during anaphase of mitosis?

C) Sister chromatids are pulled apart

B) Chromosomes align at the equator

What is the role of the centrioles during mitosis?

Which is the correct order of the stages in mitosis

Interphase, Prophase, Anaphase, Metaphase

Prophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Telophase

Prophase, Metaphase, Telophase, Anaphase

Which stage of mitosis is shown in the diagram?

Cytokinesis

Anaphase

Telophase

Prophase

Answer explanation

The diagram shows telophase, where the chromosomes have reached the poles and are beginning to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope is reforming. This distinguishes it from anaphase, where chromosomes are still separating.
