Hi everyone here we have a question telling us a light micro graph of the divided cells in a part of an onion rings taken identify which correctly describes the tele face stage of mitosis. So in the telephone age stage we have the sales are starting to but have not split and the chromosomes are going to the end of each pole, so that is a chromosome there and they are at the end. So sell with chromosomes reach at the end of each poll. That is correct. So with chroma tides moving apart from the equator that is incorrect cell with chromosomes arranged at meta face plate. That is incorrect and all of the above is incorrect. So our correct answer is a cell with chromosomes reached at the end of each poll. Thank you for watching. Bye.
