Sister Chromatids
Identical copies of a chromosome, connected by a centromere, produced during DNA replication and present in a cell prior to cell division.
Metaphase
A stage of cell division where chromosomes align in the middle of the cell before being separated into two new cells.
Telophase
The final stage of mitosis or meiosis in cell division, where the chromosomes de-condense and two new nuclear membranes begin to form around the separated chromosomal sets.
- Discern the anatomical structures and sequential stages of mitosis.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Chromosomes are present as attached sister chromatids during metaphase, where they align at the metaphase plate, and during prophase, when they first become visible. In anaphase, sister chromatids separate, and in telophase, they are at opposite poles, no longer attached.
