Match List-I with List-II. List-I List-II A. Prophase i. Centromeres split and chromatids separate B. Metaphase ii. Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements C. Anaphase iii. Initiation of the assembly of mitotic spindle D. Telophase iv. Spindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Step-by-step solution

The correct matching of the stages of mitosis with their defining events is as follows: Prophase (A) is characterised by the initiation of the assembly of the mitotic spindle (iii). Metaphase (B) is defined by the alignment of chromosomes at the equator and the attachment of spindle fibres to the kinetochores of chromosomes (iv). Anaphase (C) is marked by the splitting of centromeres and the separation of chromatids, which then move to opposite poles (i). Telophase (D) is the final stage where chromosomes cluster a
