Question

question: during which stage of mitosis are sister chromatids pulled apart from each another, moving away from the metaphase plate to opposite ends of the cell? answer options: select one of four anaphase cytokinesis telophase metaphase

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the stages of mitosis:

• Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
• Cytokinesis: Division of the cytoplasm, not a mitosis stage (it's after mitosis).
• Telophase: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelopes reform.
• Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.

The description matches Anaphase.

Answer:

A. Anaphase
