Interpret mitosis images to identify stages and chromosome behaviour, using each question and mark scheme as evidence.
The transmission electron micrograph shows a cell in a stage of the mitotic cell cycle.
Which statement explains why it is difficult to identify the stage of the mitotic cell cycle shown?
Chromosomes have supercoiled and are visible, but centrioles are not visible.
Anaphase may be continuing, or telophase may be starting.
It is unclear whether the electron micrograph shows two cells in metaphase.
Some people may consider interphase to have started.
