Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What stage of Mitosis is when chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of a cell by spindle fibers?
A
Metaphase
B
Anaphase
C
Prophase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The spindle starts to form during prophase of mitosis. Kinetochores on the spindle attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Anaphase. After metaphase is complete, the cell enters anaphase. During anaphase, the microtubules attached to the kinetochores contract, which pulls the sister chromatids apart and toward opposite poles of the cell (Figure 3c). At this point, each chromatid is considered a separate chromosome.

Detailed explanation-5: -A central feature of mitosis is segregation of sister chromatids to opposite poles during anaphase.
