Answer
(a) The parts are as follows:
- 1 → Centromere
- 2 → Spindle fibres
- 3 → Chromatids
(b) The stage described in the diagram is the late anaphase of mitosis in an animal cell. The stage can be identified by the presence of separated chromatids which are found at the two poles of the cell. The appearance of the furrow in the cell membrane classifies the stage as the late anaphase.
(c) The division is mitotic and this kind of cell division occurs in all the cells of the body except for the reproductive cells.
(d) The stage before anaphase is metaphase. Below diagram shows metaphase:
