Question

What occurs during the anaphase of mitosis?

A. chromosomes, originally in pairs, separate from their daughters and move to the opposite ends (or poles) of the cell.
B. the mitotic spindle fibers begin to form
C. the chromosomes align int he middle of the cell
D. two nuclei form, surrounded each by a nuclear membrane

Answer 1

During anaphase of mitosis, sister chromatids separate and the centromeres divide. Each pole of the cell receives one sister chromatid, resulting in two daughter cells with a complete set of chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anaphase is the third stage of mitosis. During anaphase, sister chromatids separate and the centromeres divide. The sister chromatids are pulled apart by the shortening of the spindle fibers. One sister chromatid moves to one pole of the cell, and the other sister chromatid moves to the opposite pole. At the end of anaphase, each pole of the cell has a complete set of chromosomes.
