A cell shows alignment of chromosomes along the equatorial plate. What will happen next?

Question

This is a question about the phases of mitosis, so let's review them:
The first phase is Prophase - this is when chromatin condenses into chromosomes in preparation for the rest of cell division.
2. Metaphase - This is when chromosomes align in the center of the cell. Another way to say this is they align along the equatorial (center line) plane.
3. Anaphase - Half of the chromosomes go to one side of the cell and the other half of the chromosomes go to the other side of the cell. They're pulled by microtubules.
4. Telophase - The cell divides into two cells - a "left" cell that has all the chromosomes that went to the left of the original cell and a "right" cell that has all the chromosomes that went to the right of of the original cell.

Thus phases 3 and 4 happen after the chromosomes align in the center of the cell.
