Question

which of the following events is associated with prophase of mitosis in animal cells?
depolymerization of spindle microtubules
cleavage of cohesins by separase
alignment of the chromosomes at the equator of the cell
movement of the centrioles toward opposite sides of the cell
movement of daughter chromosomes toward opposite sides of the cell

Explanation:

• In prophase of mitosis in animal cells, centrioles move toward opposite sides of the cell.
• Depolymerization of spindle microtubules occurs in anaphase.
• Cleavage of cohesins by separase is in anaphase.
• Alignment of chromosomes at the equator is in metaphase.
• Movement of daughter chromosomes toward opposite sides is in anaphase.

Answer:

movement of the centrioles toward opposite sides of the cell
