Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What happens after chromosomes are aligned at the equitorial plate of the cell?
A
Homologous chromosomes will move to opposite poles of the cell
B
Paired chromatids will separate and new daughter chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell
C
Nuclear envelope breaks down, then the spindle forms
D
Chromatin will decondense and the daughter cell will enter interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mitotic phase is a multistep process during which the duplicated chromosomes are aligned, separated, and moved to opposite poles of the cell, and then the cell is divided into two new identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -In metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes align on either side of the equatorial plate. Then, in anaphase I, the spindle fibers contract and pull the homologous pairs, each with two chromatids, away from each other and toward each pole of the cell. During telophase I, the chromosomes are enclosed in nuclei.

Detailed explanation-3: -During metaphase II, the chromosomes align along the cell’s equatorial plate.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaphase. (b) Daughter chromosomes move to the opposite poles of a spindle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaphase: During anaphase, the centromere splits, allowing the sister chromatids to separate. The kinetochore spindle fibers shorten, allowing for 46 of the newly-freed chromatids to be dragged to one end of the cell and the remaining 46 chromatids to be dragged to the opposite end of the cell.
