Which stage is it and what are its characteristics?

- AAnaphase - Centromeres split and chromatids separate and start moving away.
- BLate prophase - Chromosomes move to spindle equator.
- CMetaphase - Spindle fibers attached to kinetochores, centromeres split and chromatids separate.
- DMetaphase - Chromosomes moved to spindle equator, chromosomes made up of two sister chromatids.

Correct answer: D
Metaphase chromosome is made up of two sister chromatides which are held together by the centromere. Chromosomes are moved to spindle equator and get aligned along metaphase plate through spindle fibres to both poles.
