Answer

metaphase, anaphase

Reason — During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves along the equatorial plane of the cell, called the metaphase plate. In anaphase, the sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart by the spindle fibers towards the opposite poles of the cell. The centromeres split, and the chromatids (now individual chromosomes) move away from the center.
