A stage of mitosis is shown in the diagram. Which stage is it and what are its characteristics?
1. Metaphase-spindle fibers attached to kinetochores, centromeres split and chromatids separate
2. Metaphase- chromosomes moved to spindle equator chromosomes made up of two sister chromatids
3. Anaphase - centromeres split and chromatids separate and start moving away
4. Late prophase - chromosomes move to spindle equator

Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
1. Prophase II: The nuclear membrane disappears by the end of this stage and the chromosomes again become compact.
2. Metaphase II: The chromosomes align at the equator and the microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids.
3. Anaphase II: The homologous chromosomes separate, while sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres.
4. Telophase II: The two groups of chromosomes once again get enclosed by a nuclear envelope
