Question

(note: the images below are actual footage of cells in an onion root tip undergoing the cell cycle.) the phase illustrated by #6 in the image below... image of onion root tip cells options: metaphase, prophase, telophase, anaphase, rewatch

Explanation:

In the cell cycle, anaphase is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids (or chromosomes) being pulled to opposite poles of the cell. The cell labeled #6 shows chromosomes moving apart, which matches the key feature of anaphase. Metaphase has chromosomes aligned at the equator, prophase involves chromosome condensation and nuclear envelope breakdown, and telophase has new nuclei forming—none of these match #6’s appearance.

Answer:

anaphase
