A stage of mitosis is shown in the diagram. Which stage is it and what are its characteristics?

Easy

A

Metaphase - Spindle fibers attached to kinetochores, centromeres split and chromatids separate.
B

Metaphase - Chromosomes moved to spindle equator, chromosomes made up of two sister chromatids.
C

Anaphase - Centromeres split and chromatids separate and start moving away.
D

Late prophase - Chromosomes move to spindle equator.

Solution

The key features of metaphase are:
1) Spindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes.
2) Chromosomes are moved to spindle equator and get aligned along metaphase plate through spindle fibres to both poles.
