Q. After the separation of centromeres during mitosis, the chromatids move towards opposite poles of the spindle. Name the term used for these chromatids
A) Daughter chromosomes
B) Kinetochores
C) Half spindles
D) Centrosomes
Explanation
Chromosomes that results from the separation of sister chromatids during cell division are called daughter chromosomes. During anaphase of mitosis, paired chromosomes (sister chromatids) separates to form daughter chromosomes. Each daughter chromosome migrates to centromere, toward the opposite ends of the cell. At the end of cell division, two distinct daughter cells are formed from a single cell
