Understanding Anaphase in Mitosis

The video tutorial from Mumu Math and Science explains the third stage of mitosis, known as anaphase. During anaphase, sister chromatids, which are aligned at the cell's equator, begin to separate and move towards opposite poles. This process is facilitated by spindle fibers attached to the centromeres of the chromosomes. The video concludes with a summary of anaphase and encourages viewers to subscribe for more educational content.

What is the third stage of mitosis called?

• Prophase

• Telophase

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

During anaphase, what happens to the sister chromatids?

• They pull apart

• They duplicate

• They disappear

• They align at the equator

What structure joins the duplicated chromosomes together?

• Nucleus

• Centromere

• Spindle fiber

• Cell membrane

Where are the chromosomes attached during anaphase?

• To the cell wall

• To the spindle fibers

• To the cytoplasm

• To the nucleus

What is the specific site on the chromosome where spindle fibers attach?

• Centromere

• Kinetochore

• Chromatid

• Nucleolus

What is the main event that occurs during anaphase?

• Chromosomes condense

• Chromatids separate

• Chromatids align

• Nuclear envelope forms
