Q

Prophase

A

First phase of mitosis, Paired chromosomes get pinned with the centromere to form the chromatids, Nucleus membrane breaks down leaving chromatids lying freely, a spindle forms across the cell for the chromatids to attach to, (46 on one side, 4 on the other)

Q

Anaphase

A

The third stage of Mitosis,spindle begins pulling the poles, centromere snaps, through a pulsing, pulling motion the chromatids are moved to the poles (Creating a V shape)
