Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Chromosome ____ refers to the two chromosomes separating and moving to opposite ends of the cell.
A
proteins
B
segregation
C
cytoplasm
D
proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Step 2: Chromosome Segregation. The two chromosomes segregate, or separate, and move to opposite ends (known as “poles") of the cell. This occurs as each copy of DNA attaches to different parts of the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chromosome segregation-the partitioning of genetic material into two daughter cells-is one of the most crucial processes in cell division. In all Eukaryotes, chromosome segregation is driven by the spindle, a microtubule-based, self-organizing subcellular structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -During mitosis, the two sister chromatids that make up each chromosome separate from each other and move to opposite poles of the cell.
