Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The figure shows a cell in anaphase, in which the sister chromatids have separated and are being pulled to opposite ends of the cell by spindle fibers. The next event in mitosis would be the formation of telophase nuclei, when the separated chromatids are enclosed in new nuclear envelopes, forming daughter nuclei. Spindle fiber formation occurs earlier in mitosis, during prophase. Nuclear envelope breakdown occurs during prophase, prior to metaphase. Synthesis of chromatids occurs during the S phase of interphase, prior to the start of mitosis.
