Question

Which stages of cell division do the following figures ‘A’ and ‘B’ represent respectively?

• A. A - Metaphas, B - Telophase
• B. A - Telophase, B - Metaphase
• C. A - Late anaphase, B - Prophase
• D. A - Prophase, B - Anaphase

Answer 1

The correct option is C A - Late anaphase, B - Prophase

A can be deduced to be late anaphase because:
(i) Centromeres have split and sister chromatids have separated.
(ii) Chromatids have moved to opposite poles.

B can be deduced to be prophase because:
(i) Centrioles have duplicated and started moving towards the opposite poles.
