(a) Given below is a diagram representing a stage during mitotic cell division in an animal cell
(i) Identify the above stage. Give a reason to support your answer.
(ii) Name the parts labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4.
(iii) What is the function of part 3 ?
(iv) Name the stage which comes just after the stage shown in the diagram. Draw a well-labelled diagram of this stage.(i) Late prophase as the nuclear membrane is disappearing.
(ii)
1 - Asters
2 - Chromatids
3 -Centromere
4 - Spindle fibres
(iii) Centromere joins the two chromatids of the chromosome. The spindle fibres also attach to the centromere at the time of cell division.
(iv) Metaphase
