The image shows a section of a root tip of Broad Bean with cells from the region of cell division, just behind the root cap. Five cells have been numbered (1-5). Which statements accurately describe the mechanism by which the cells ensure that chromosomes are passed successfully to the next generation? Select ALL that apply.   A - Cell 2 is undergoing anaphase to separate the duplicated chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell.   B - Cell 1 lacks chromosomes and cannot contribute genetic material to future cells.   C - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and are now haploid, containing half of a full set of chromosomes after division.   D - Cells 4 and 5 have recently divided and have a cell plate that formed between them.   E - Cell 3 is providing a mechanism for increasing genetic diversity in the daughter cells.

This image depicts onion root tip cells undergoing various stages of mitosis, as seen under a microscope.

1. **Interphase**: The cell appears normal with a clearly visible nucleus and nucleolus. The genetic material, chromatin, is not yet condensed into chromosomes.
   
2. **Prophase**: Chromosomes start to condense and become visible. The nuclear membrane begins to dissolve, making the chromosomes more visible.

3. **Metaphase**: Chromosomes align at the equatorial plane (metaphase plate) of the cell. The spindle fibers are attached to the centromeres of the chromosomes, preparing them for separation.

4. **Anaphase**: The chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers towards opposite poles of the cell. This stage is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids.

5. **Telophase**: Chromosomes arrive at the poles and begin to de-condense back into chromatin. The nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes, and the cytoplasm begins to divide.

This sequence is crucial for understanding how cells replicate and the importance of mitosis in growth and cellular repair.
