Solution

The correct option is D
Chromosomes are replicated ready for the next division.

During interphase, DNA replication occurs so that the rest of the phases of cell division can occur.

.......... One of two genetically identical chromosome units that are the result of DNA replication.

Match the following stages during Mitotic cell division with the key changes:

$\begin{matrix} Column I & Column II i. Prophase & a. Formation of 2 daughter cells, preparation for next division. ii. Metaphase & b. Organelles disappear, formation of chromosomes. iii. Anaphase & c. Spindle fibres, chromosomes at equatorial plate. iv. Telophase & d. Splitting of chromatids, chromosomes move towards poles. v. Interphase & e. Spindle fibres disappear, Cytokinesis follows. \end{matrix}$

Q. Which of the following events takes place during anaphase stage of mitosis?
I. Spindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes
II. Centromeres split and chromatids separate
III. Chromatids move to opposite poles
IV. Nucleolous, Golgi complex and E.R. reform

Q. Identify the incorrect match

	Metaphase	Anaphase	Anaphase-1
1)	Chromosomes are moved to spindle equator	Daughter chromatids separate	Chromatids remain associated
2)	Chromosomes are moved to spindle equator	Centromeres are towards poles	Centromeres are towards the equator
3)	Starts with complete nuclear member disintegration	Centromeres are towards poles	Segregation of homologous chromosomes
4)	Starts with complete nuclear member disintegration	Centromeres split	Segregation of homologous chromosomes
