Question

Identify the correct statements with respect to anaphase of mitosis.

(A) Chromosomes get aligned in one plane at the equator.

(B) The sister chromatids get attached at a point known as the centromere.

(C) Each chromosome arranged at the equatorial plane is split.

• A. Only C is correct
• B. Only A is correct
• C. Both B and C are correct but A is incorrect
• D. Both A and B are correct but C is incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only C is correct

$\bullet$ At the onset of anaphase, the centromere attaching the two chromatids divides or splits.
$\bullet$ The two sister chromatids separate and are drawn apart towards the opposite poles.
$\bullet$ Chromosomes line up in one plane at the equator during metaphase.
$\bullet$ Sister chromatids get attached to each other at a small region known as centromere during prophase.
