Metaphase; to restrict spindle fibers from reaching sister chromatids.
Metaphase; to restrict spindle fibers from reaching sister chromatids.

Anaphase; to prevent sister chromatids from being pulled apart.
Anaphase; to prevent sister chromatids from being pulled apart.

Prophase; to allow sister chromatids to move freely.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Telophase; to protect the DNA in the newly formed daughter cell.

During telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated sets of chromosomes, which helps to protect the newly formed DNA and prepares it for the next phase of the cell cycle. This reformation is essential for the integrity of the genetic material as the cell completes division.
