At which stage of mitosis, the two daughter chromatids separate from each other, migrate towards the opposite poles and are now referred to as chromosomes of the future daughters nuclei?

A

Prophase

B

Metaphase

C

Anaphase

D

Telophase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In anaphase, the centromeres of chromosomes start to divide into two, forming daughter chromosomes with centromere in each. Daughter chromosome are repulsive, so they migrate towards opposite poles. Spindle fibres attached to the centromeres shorten and pull the chromosomes to the poles.
