First, look closely: The zoomed-in view of diagram (d) shows that the sister chromatids have separated and are being actively pulled by spindle fibers toward opposite poles of the cell. The chromosomes are still visible as distinct structures.
-
Next, find information: Based on my visual analysis of all four diagrams, I can now identify each stage of mitosis. Diagram (b) is Interphase, (a) is Metaphase, (d) is Anaphase, and (c) is Telophase/Cytokinesis. I will now provide the final answer.

Then, review the findings: My analysis is complete. The stages are correctly identified based on the standard characteristics of mitotic phases.
(a) Metaphase
(b) Interphase
(c) Telophase
(d) Anaphase
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of mitosis worksheet and diagram identification.
