Chapter 10: Q. 12 (page 276)

Separation of the sister chromatids is a characteristic of which stage of mitosis?

a. prometaphase

b. metaphase

c. anaphase

d. telophase

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is C.

Step by step solution

01

Step. 1 Introduction

At mitosis, an eukaryotic cell divides to become two genetically similar daughter cells by a precisely synchronized nuclear division.

02

Step. 2 Explanation for correct answer.

Separation of the sister chromatids and the chromosomes get driven toward opposing poles occur during anaphase.

03

Step. 3 Explanation for incorrect answer.

Option a. Kinetochores occur at the centromeres during prometaphase, and microtubules bind to kinetochores.

Option b. During metaphase, chromosomes align and sister chromatid becomes connected to a spindle fibre.

Option d.

During telophase, chromosomes appear at opposing poles, and each pair of chromosomes is surrounded by fresh nuclear envelope material.
