Question

what happens during anaphase? select all that apply. dna condenses and chromosomes become visible. a cell plate forms between the two nuclei. the separated chromosomes move toward opposite poles of the cell. the spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart.

Explanation:

• During anaphase in cell division (mitosis or meiosis II), the spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart. Once separated, these chromatids (now individual chromosomes) move toward opposite poles of the cell.
• DNA condensing and chromosomes becoming visible occurs in prophase.
• A cell plate forming between two nuclei is a characteristic of cytokinesis (in plant cells) which typically follows telophase, not anaphase.

Answer:

• The separated chromosomes move toward opposite poles of the cell.
• The spindle fibers pull sister chromatids apart.
