The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Mitosis**: Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells. It consists of several stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. 2. **Identifying the Stages**: - **Prophase**: Chromosomes condense, and the nucleolus disappears. No separation of chromatids occurs here. - **Metaphase**: Chromosomes align at the equatorial plane of the cell. Again, there is no splitting of centromeres or separation of chromatids in this stage. - **Anaphase**: This is the critical stage where the centromeres split, and the chromatids separate from each other. The separated chromatids move towards opposite poles of the cell. - **Telophase**: Chromatids reach the opposite poles, and the cell begins to divide into two. However, the separation of chromatids has already occurred in the previous stage. 3. **Conclusion**: The stage in mitosis where the centromeres split and chromatids separate is during **Anaphase**. 4. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **Anaphase**. ---
