Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which phase of mitosis involves the chromosomes being pulled apart into two sets of chromotids?
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. The sister chromatids separate from one another and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -During anaphase (b), the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -In anaphase of mitosis and anaphase II of meiosis, the abrupt shortening of the spindle microtubules separates each chromatid into a pair of chromosomes and pulls them to opposite ends of the cell. This ensures that each of the daughter cells will receive a complete set of chromosomes.
