Q836

During which phase centromeres divide and chromatids separate into chromosomes?

A.
Prophase
B.
Metaphase
C.
Telophase
D.
Anaphase
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
During anaphase, the “upward phase,” the cohesin proteins degrade, and the sister chromatids separate at the centromere. Each chromatid, now called a chromosome, is pulled rapidly toward the centrosome to which its microtubule is attached.
