III. IDENTIFY WHAT STAGE OF MITOSIS IS INDICATED

Stage of Mitosis Description

At first, chromosomes are observed as long, thin and

coiled filaments, called chromatids. Then eventually
they become short and thick with two identical
strands held by the centromere. The nuclear
Prophase
membrane disintegrates and the nucleolus
disappears. Centrioles in the centrosomes move
toward the opposite poles forming the asters that
become the spindle fibers.

Centromeres of the chromosomes are attached to

the spindle fibers and aligned at the equator of the
Metaphase
cell.

Separation of the chromosomes moving to the

Anaphase opposite poles.

Cleavage furrow is formed to divide the

cytoplasm and produce the two daughter cells.
Telophase Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear.
Chromosomes are again long and threadlike.
