Four stages of mitotic cell division are shown in the diagram. at which stage are the chromosomes at the equator of the cell?

Answer : The correct answer is -

Q) Metaphase.

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides and produces two daughter cells with same number of chromosomes.

It occurs in four stages in which prophase is the first stage, followed by metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

In the given question, figure Q) depicts the second stage that is Metaphase.

During this phase, chromosomes align at equator (metaphase plate) of the cell and they are anchored by spindle fibers that originate from both the poles.

Thus, figure Q) correctly depicts metaphase where  chromosomes are at the equator of the cell.
