The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Chromosomal movement in Anaphase occurs with the help of:", we will analyze the options provided and understand the role of each component during the anaphase stage of cell division. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Anaphase**: - Anaphase is a stage in both mitosis and meiosis where the sister chromatids (or homologous chromosomes in meiosis) are separated and moved towards opposite poles of the cell. 2. **Identifying Key Components**: - The primary components involved in the movement of chromosomes during anaphase are: - **Spindle Fibers**: These are structures that form during cell division and are crucial for the movement of chromosomes. - **Centrioles**: These are involved in the formation of spindle fibers but do not directly cause the movement of chromosomes. - **Astral Rays**: These help in positioning the spindle apparatus but are not directly responsible for the movement of chromosomes. 3. **Role of Spindle Fibers**: - During anaphase, spindle fibers attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes. The fibers shorten, pulling the sister chromatids apart and toward opposite poles of the cell. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is that chromosomal movement in anaphase occurs with the help of **spindle fibers**. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **spindle fibers**. ---
