Question

When do centrioles split and go to the poles of the cell?

• A. During Anaphase
• B. Beginning of Prophase
• C. End of Prophase
• D. Beginning of Metaphase

Answer 1

The correct option is C

End of Prophase

Centrioles split and move to the opposite ends of the cell at the poles towards the end of Prophase. The moving of centrioles to the poles helps organize the spindle fibres that begin to play a role from the metaphase onwards.
