Understanding Anaphase in Mitosis

Which stage of mitosis involves the chromosomes lining up in the middle of the cell?

• Anaphase

• Metaphase

• Telophase

• Prophase

During anaphase, what happens to the chromosomes?

• They condense and become visible.

• They line up at the cell's equator.

• They form a new nuclear membrane.

• They are pulled apart to opposite poles.

What marks the poles of the cell during anaphase?

• Chromatids

• Centromeres

• Spindles

• Centrioles

Why is it crucial for anaphase to occur correctly?

• To ensure the cell divides into four parts.

• To allow the nuclear membrane to reform.

• To prevent genetic mutations by ensuring correct chromosome distribution.

• To initiate the process of cytokinesis.

What is the next stage after anaphase in mitosis?

• Cytokinesis

• Prophase

• Telophase

• Metaphase
