Answer:

This phase is referred to as metaphase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, as the chromosomes line up in the middle, they are still connected to the centrioles via fibers. During the four phases -- prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase -- the cell and genetic material begins to split evenly so that each new cell has the same genetic information.
