Final answer:

Chromosomes with a single chromatid can be found in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, Metaphase II of meiosis, and Anaphase of meiosis II. Therefore, the correct options are d, f, and h.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves understanding the stages of cell division when chromosomes comprised of a single chromatid can be found. Chromosomes with a single chromatid are typical of cells that have completed cell division and have not yet replicated their DNA.

  • d. G1 phase of the cell cycle: After mitosis, a cell enters the G1 phase, where each chromosome exists as a single chromatid since DNA replication has not yet taken place.
  • f. Metaphase II of meiosis: During Metaphase II, sister chromatids line up at the equator ready to be separated, hence each chromosome is comprised of a single chromatid.
  • h. Anaphase of meiosis II: In this phase, sister chromatids are separated into individual chromatids and are allocated to different daughter cells, therefore existing as single chromatids.

Options d, f, and h are correct in the context of when chromosomes comprised of a single chromatid would be present.
