CELL DIVISION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which stage of cell division are chromosomes pulled to opposite ends of the cell?
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Metaphase leads to anaphase, during which each chromosome’s sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Telophase and Cytokinesis Mitosis ends with telophase, or the stage at which the chromosomes reach the poles. The nuclear membrane then reforms, and the chromosomes begin to decondense into their interphase conformations.
