refer to the illustration above. during which stage do the centromeres split?
d
a
b
c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Mitosis Stages

Centromeres split during anaphase of mitosis, where sister chromatids separate.

Step2: Analyze Each Diagram

• Diagram A: Chromosomes are moving apart (anaphase, centromeres split here as sister chromatids separate).
• Diagram B: Chromosomes are aligned at equator (metaphase, centromeres not split).
• Diagram C: Chromosomes are condensing (prophase, centromeres not split).
• Diagram D: Cell is dividing into two (telophase/cytokinesis, centromeres already split earlier).

So the stage with centromere splitting is A.

Answer:

A
