CELL DIVISION

THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During mitosis chromosomes meet in the middle to get divided into two daughter cells in a phase called:
A
prophase
B
anaphase
C
metaphase
D
telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Metaphase. Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate, under tension from the mitotic spindle. The two sister chromatids of each chromosome are captured by microtubules from opposite spindle poles. In metaphase, the spindle has captured all the chromosomes and lined them up at the middle of the cell, ready to divide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase is the fifth and final 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-3: -The stages of mitosis are: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -During meiosis, chromosomes will split into daughter cells randomly, making each gamete unique.
