Question

In the anaphase of mitosis,
A. Chromosomes are in the middle of the cell
B. Chromosomes are at one pole
C. Chromosomes moves away towards the poles from the middle
D. There are no chromosomes

Answer 1

Hint: In the cell division cycle, there are two-phase interphase and M-phase. Interphase is subdivided into three phases and it is the longest phase of the cell cycle however, M-phase is the shortest phase due to the quick motility of the chromosomes.

Complete answer:Mitosis is the process of cell division. In this process of mitosis, the parent cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. The daughters are identical to the parents as well. The mitosis has five phases: prophase, prometaphase metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
In option A, chromosomes in the middle of the cell are mentioned. This happens during the metaphase of the cell division.
In option B, chromosomes are at one pole. This happens during the telophase of the cell division.
In option C, chromosomes move away towards the poles from the middle. This happens during the anaphase of the cell division.

In option D, there are no chromosomes, however, chromosomes still exist in this phase.
So, option C is the correct option and is the answer.

Note: During anaphase, other actions happen too. The glue which binds the sister chromatids gets broken. This enables them to get separated. Now, as we know, the chromatids are their own chromosome. Also, as we know, the microtubules enlarge as they are not attached to the chromosomes and separates the poles by pushing them apart, elongating the cell. It is a very short phase and so hard to capture the movement during the cell division.
