Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Centrioles pull the chromosomes apart towards the opposite sides of the cell describes:
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Telophase
D
Anaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘Prophase. ‘

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In animal cells, the centrioles near the nucleus begin to separate and move to opposite poles (sides) of the cell. As the centrioles move, a spindle starts to form between them. The spindle consists of fibers made of microtubules that pull chromosomes apart during cell division.

Detailed explanation-4: -During prophase, the centrioles move to opposite ends of the nucleus and a mitotic spindle of threads begins to appear. Those threads then connect to the now apparent chromosomes. During anaphase, the chromosomes are split and pulled towards each centriole.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
