Question

the first stage of cell division, prophase is when the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears. the second stage of cell division, metaphase, during which the chromosomes lined up in the middle of the cell become attached to the spindle fibers. the stage of cell division, anaphase, in which the chromosomes move apart / away from one another to opposite poles of the spindle.

Explanation:

Cell division has distinct stages. Prophase is the first, with chromosome - chromatid appearance and nuclear envelope breakdown. Metaphase is the second, where chromosomes align and attach to spindle fibers. Anaphase is when chromosomes separate to opposite poles.

Answer:

The statements about prophase, metaphase, and anaphase in cell division are correct.
