Select the correct option with respect to mitosis.

1. Chromatids start moving towards opposite poles in telophase

2. Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum are still visible at the end of prophase

3. Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along equatorial plate in metaphase

4. Chromatids separate but remains in the centre of the cell in anaphase
