THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A cell splits into two daughter cells during anaphase.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Anaphase ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The chromatids of the daughter cells also separate during anaphase two, resulting in four daughter cells at the end of meiosis 2. As a result, one parent cell produces four daughter cells through meiosis.
