Answer:
Metaphase
Step-by-step explanation:
Taxol is an anti-mitotic chemical which is used to treat cancer.
The taxol act by binding the microtubules which act as cytoskeletal structure. The microtubules are involved in the segregation of the chromosomes during the division of the cell.
The microtubules allow the movement of the chromosomes in the dividing cell during anaphase.
If the cells are treated with the taxol then the cells will be observed at the metaphase in which the chromosomes are aligned in the equatorial line. The microtubules will separate the chromosomes after the metaphase or during the anaphase but since the taxol prevents the depolymerization of the microtubules, therefore, cells are found in the metaphase.
Thus, Metaphase is correct.
