Mitotic anaphase differs from metaphase in possessing

Options

ASame number of chromosomes and same number of chromatids
BHalf number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids
CHalf number of chromosomes and same number of chromatids
DSame number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids

Correct answer

D. Same number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids

Step-by-step solution

In mitotic anaphase, the sister chromatids separate from each other and begin to move towards the opposite poles. Hence, the number of chromosomes remains the same but the amount of DNA or chromatids becomes half.
