Question
Anaphase ____.
occurs after telophase
is the same in mitosis and meiosis I and II
involves the lining up of the chromosomes across the equatorial plate
results in an unequal distribution of chromosomes to the resulting cells
begins when the chromosomes begin to move apart
Expert Solution

Introduction
Mitosis and Meiosis are two types of cell division. These are divided into stages namely - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase followed by cytokinesis.

Correct choice and Explanation
Correct Option - begins when the chromosomes begin to move apart
Anaphase is the stage where the spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids away from each other. In this stage, the homologous chromosomes move to opposite ends.
