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 daughter nuclei?

A

Prophase

B

Metaphase

C

Anaphase

D

Telophase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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

At what phase of meiosis there are two cells, each with separated siter chromatids that have been moved to opposite spindle poles?

While in mitosis, the daughter cells resemble each other and alos the parent cell, in meiosis they differ not only fom parent cell in having half the number of chromosomes. But also differ among themselves qualitatively in genetic consitution due to

Assertion: During anaphase, centromere of each chromosome splits and chromatids separate. Reason: During anaphase, chromatids move to opposite poles.
