In mitosis, the centromeres split and chromatids separate during:
Options
- AMetaphase
- BAnaphase
- CProphase
- DTelophase
Correct answer
B. Anaphase
Step-by-step solution
In anaphase, the kinetochore are pulled apart, centromere splits and chromatids are separated, which starts moving towards the opposite poles. This results in a reduction in the quantity of DNA to half which is replicated during the S phase.
