A scientist looks into a microscope and sees that replicated chromosome pairs are lined up in the center of a cell. The scientist then sees the mitotic spindle from each side of the cell attach to a chromosome. Which mitotic phase is the scientist likely witnessing?(1 point) Responses telophase telophase anaphase anaphase metaphase metaphase prophase

Answer 1

The scientist is likely witnessing metaphase. During metaphase, replicated chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell, and the mitotic spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes.
