Metaphase
D
Anaphase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of centrioles in cell division: Centrioles are involved in organizing the microtubules that separate chromosomes during cell division.
Review the stages of mitosis: Mitosis consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Identify the key events in each phase: In prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Focus on the movement of centrioles: During prophase, the centriole pairs move to opposite poles of the cell to help organize the spindle fibers.
Conclude that the phase where centriole pairs move to opposite sides is prophase, as this is when the spindle apparatus is established.
