Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which phase are the chromosomes pulled away to opposite poles?
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaphase. The sister chromatids separate from one another and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase I: In anaphase I, the attachment of the spindle fibers is complete. The homologous chromosomes are pulled apart and move towards opposite ends of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metaphase leads to anaphase, during which each chromosome’s sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -During anaphase, the sister chromatids are separated simultaneously at their centromeres. The separated chromosomes are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -During anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes are pulled toward opposite poles of the cell.
