What occurs during anaphase of mitosis?

• Tetrads are pulled apart towards opposite poles of the cell

What connects two sister chromatids together?

• Kinetochore
• Telomere
• Histone
• Centromere

______ is the DNA that condenses to make up a chromosome.

How does cytokinesis differ between animals and plants?

Answer explanation

• In animals, cytokinesis occurs by cleavage, in which the cell pinches itself into two.

• In plants, a cell plate will form to separate the parent cell into two daughter cells.
