Metaphase I

Anaphase II

Prophase II

Telophase I

Answer 1

Metaphase I

Answer 2

Yes it will be metaphase

Answer 3

Could you explain?

Answer 4

Interphase (G1 and G2)
Chromosomes are not easily visible because they are uncoiled.
Prophase
The chromosomes begin to coil.
The spindle apparatus begins to form as centrosomes move apart.
Metaphase
The chromosomes become aligned on a plane.
Anaphase
The chromatids separate (The number of chromosomes doubles).
Telophase
The nuclear membrane reappears.
The chromosomes uncoil.
The spindle apparatus breaks down.
The cell divides into two.
