Name and describe the phase of the cell cycle shown in the picture:

Interphase - Before mitosis begins, chromosomes are copied.  Each chromosome is made of 2 chromatids.

Anaphase -The chromatids separate and move apart to opposite sides of the cell.

d)

Metaphase - The nuclear membrane is fully dissolved. Chromosome pairs line up along the equator (middle) of the cell.
