which phase of mitosis is shown in the diagram?
anaphase
metaphase
telophase
prophase

Explanation:

To determine the mitosis phase, we analyze the diagram:

• Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles (matching the diagram’s chromosome movement).
• Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the equator (not seen here).
• Telophase: Nuclear envelopes reform (not visible).
• Prophase: Chromosomes condense, spindle forms (not the case here).

The diagram shows chromosomes moving to opposite poles, characteristic of anaphase.

Answer:

anaphase
