The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Chromosomes move towards the pole during," we need to analyze the different stages of cell division, specifically focusing on the movement of chromosomes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cell Division Stages**: - The cell cycle consists of several stages: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Each stage has distinct events related to chromosome behavior. 2. **Identifying Key Events in Each Stage**: - **Prophase**: Chromosomes condense and become visible. The spindle fibers begin to form, but chromosomes do not move towards the poles yet. - **Metaphase**: Chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane (metaphase plate). They are still not moving towards the poles. - **Anaphase**: This is the critical stage where the centromeres split, and sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite poles of the cell. This is where the actual movement towards the poles occurs. - **Telophase**: Chromosomes reach the poles and begin to de-condense. The nuclear envelope starts to reform around the separated chromosomes. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is **Anaphase**. This is the stage during which chromosomes (sister chromatids) move towards the poles of the cell. ### Final Answer: Chromosomes move towards the pole during **Anaphase**. ---
