Question

multiple-choice question
dna is separated in which phase?
cytokinesis
prophase
anaphase
interphase
telophase
metaphase

Explanation:

To determine the phase where DNA is separated, we analyze each option:

• Cytokinesis: Involves cell division after mitosis, not DNA separation.
• Prophase: Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks, no DNA separation.
• Anaphase: Sister chromatids (containing DNA) are pulled apart to opposite poles, so DNA is separated here.
• Interphase: DNA replication occurs, not separation.
• Telophase: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelope reforms, no DNA separation.
• Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the equator, no separation.

Answer:

C. Anaphase
