In what phases is the genetic material in the cell correctly referred to as chromatids?

a. interphase and prophase

b. metaphase and telophase

c. anaphase and metaphase

d. metaphase and prophase E. interphase and telophase

The genetic material in the cell is correctly referred to as chromatids in D) metaphase and prophase.

The answer is c. anaphase and metaphase.

Mitosis consists of four phases - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis. 1. Prophase: Chromatin in the nucleus condenses and chromosomes pair up. Mitosis consists of four phases - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis

1. Prophase: Chromatin in the nucleus condenses and chromosomes pair up

2. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell. The sister chromatids are joined together.

3. Anaphase: The sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells.

4. Telophase and Cytokinesis: Membrane forms around each set of chromosomes on two opposite sides of the cells and cell divides into two identical daughter cells.

Therefore, chromatids are present in metaphase and anaphase. In prophase structures are called chromonema.
