Anaphase
D
Telophase
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the sequence of stages in mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
Understand that mitosis is the process of nuclear division, and cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm that follows mitosis.
Identify that Prophase is the first stage where chromosomes condense and the spindle apparatus begins to form.
Recognize that Metaphase is the stage where chromosomes align at the metaphase plate in the center of the cell.
Know that Anaphase involves the separation of sister chromatids moving toward opposite poles, and Telophase is the final stage where nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes, completing mitosis before cytokinesis.
