I'm unable to see images or diagrams, so I can't identify the phase of mitosis based on an image you provided. However, I can help you identify the phases of mitosis based on descriptions:

  • Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the mitotic spindle begins to form, and the nuclear envelope starts to break down.
  • Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the cell's equatorial plane (metaphase plate), and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
  • Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
  • Telophase: Chromosomes reach the opposite poles, begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.

If you can provide a description of the diagram, I would be happy to help you identify the phase of mitosis!
