Question

Chromosomes begin migrating towards poles of the cell during
A) anaphase.
B) interphase.
C) telophase.
D) metaphase.
E) prophase.

Accepted Answer

Chromosomes begin moving towards the poles of the cell during anaphase, which is the stage of mitosis where the sister chromatids are pulled apart and moved towards opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers. During metaphase, the chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell, while in prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible. Telophase marks the end of mitosis, where the chromosomes have reached the poles of the cell and begin to decondense. Interphase is a period of the cell cycle where the cell is not actively dividing and chromosomes are not visible.
