Select the correct stage.
Ming's mother served him fried eggs for breakfast. After seeing the eggs, he noticed that they closely resembled a stage in cell division that's
common to both meiosis and mitosis. Which stage will occur
after the stage that resembles the fried eggs?
prophase
anaphase
metaphase
cytokinesis



Answer :

In the context of cell division stages, the stage that closely resembles fried eggs is the metaphase stage. During metaphase, the chromosomes line up along the equatorial plane of the cell, similar to how fried eggs look with their yolks in the center.

After metaphase comes anaphase in both meiosis and mitosis. In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell. This is like the separation of the yolk from the egg white in a fried egg, where the two parts move away from each other.

Therefore, the correct stage that will occur after the stage resembling fried eggs (metaphase) is anaphase.
