Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell during which phase of mitosis?
A
prophase
B
metaphase
C
anaphase
D
telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.

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. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaphase II: During anaphase II, the centromere splits, freeing the sister chromatids from each other. At this point, spindle fibers begin to shorten, pulling the newly-separated sister chromatids towards opposite ends of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -During anaphase, each pair of chromosomes is separated into two identical, independent chromosomes. The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
