Identify the stage of mitotic division. Give a reason to support your answer.

The given image shows the prometaphase (end of prophase and early metaphase) stage of the mitotic division in an animal cell. During this stage, the nuclear envelope disappears and allow the kinetochore microtubules in the spindle to attach to the chromosome. The mitotic spindle formation completes. Chromatids tend to move toward the center of the cell. In the given figure all these mentioned characteristics of this phase can be noticed which confirms that it is prometaphase stage.
