Solution
(i) A - Duplicated chromosomes
B - Centromere
(ii) The structure C is Spindle fibre. Its function is to help in the movement of chromosomes.
(iii) The type of cell division is mitosis because all chromosomes appear to be same as there is no crossing over.
(iv) Metaphase.
(v) Prophase occurs before metaphase and after metaphase anaphase takes place.
