For successful cell replacement during tissue repair, the chromosome content of each daughter cell must be identical to that of the mother cell. Which stages of mitosis make sure that each daughter cell receives one chromatid from each chromatid pair?
Options
- AProphase and metaphase
- BMetaphase and anaphase
- CAnaphase and telophase
- DTelophase and interphase
Correct answer
B. Metaphase and anaphase
Step-by-step solution
Metaphase in mitosis ensure the orientation of chromatid pair in proper alignment assisted by the centrioles and microtubules. Anaphase is the stage where the chromatids are separated at centromere to ensure each new cell that form gets equal number of chromosomes.
