CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The phase in mitosis where chromosomes move away and are pulled apart by spindles to opposite sides of the cell.
A
prophase
B
anaphase
C
metaphase
D
telephase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During anaphase (b), the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -By the end of anaphase, the daughter chromosomes have separated into two equal groups at opposite ends of the cell and have begun to decondense. In telophase, the final stage of mitosis, a nuclear envelope reassembles around each group of chromosomes to form the two daughter interphase nuclei.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaphase: The sister chromatids are then pulled apart by the mitotic spindle which pulls one chromatid to one pole and the other chromatid to the opposite pole.

Detailed explanation-4: -During prophase, the chromosomes condense and centrosomes move to opposite sides of the nucleus, initiating formation of the mitotic spindle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaphase A is the dynamic mitotic stage during which the sister chromatids separate further and migrate along the spindle to opposite spindle poles (Inoué and Ritter, 1975).
