Select the correct option with respect to mitosis.

1. Chromatids separate but remain in the centre of the cell in anaphase.
2. Chromatids start moving towards opposite poles in telophase.
3. Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum are still visible at the end of prophase.
4. Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along equatorial plate in metaphase.

Correct answer: Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along equatorial plate in metaphase.

Solution

In metaphase, chromosomes attach to spindle fibers and align at the cell’s equatorial plane, forming the metaphase plate. Separation of chromatids occurs later in anaphase, not metaphase or telophase.
