Question

Identify the stage of mitosis where the sister chromatids separate and each daughter cell gets one chromosome.

A) prophase
B) metaphase
C) anaphase
D) telophase

Answer 1

C) anaphase

Anaphase - separation of the sister chromatids and simple chromosomes (sister chromatids) are pulled to the poles of the cell.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be C) anaphase.

Anaphase is the stage of mitosis in which sister chromatids of chromosomes are separated and are distributed equally in two daughter cells.

The protein glue or cohesins that bind the sister chromatids are broken which release the two identical chromosomes.

Mitotic spindle present at either end of the cell pull apart the identical chromosomes in opposite directions.
