During Which Phase of Mitosis Do the Chromosomes Move to Opposite

Question

During which phase of mitosis do the chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell?
A) anaphase
B) metaphase
C) prophase
D) telophase

Accepted Answer

During anaphase, the spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids of each chromosome apart, moving them towards opposite poles of the cell. This separates the chromosomes evenly into two sets, ready for the formation of two new nuclei during telophase.
