a. This is an animal cell because:

i. The outline is circular (in plants it would be angular {rectangular or polygonal}) and cell wall is absent.

ii. Centrosomes on centrioles are present. (These are found only in animal cells)

 

b.  

 

c. The stage of cell division shown in the diagram is metaphase because the chromosomes are arranged in the equatorial region of the cell and each chromosome is attached to a spindle fibre by its centromere.

d. The stage that occurs before this is prophase and after this stage comes anaphase.
