Question

Diagramatically differentiate a metaphase chromosome from an anaphase chromosome

Answer 1

During metaphase,: chromosomes are arranged in the equatorial plane, whereas during anaphase, daughter chromosomes move towards the Opposite poles of the spindle.Metaphase is the stage of cell division in which sister chromatids allign at metaphase plate Or equatorial plate. Anaphase refers to thr stage of cell division in which migration of sister chromatids from metaphase plate towards opposite poles take place.In metaphase (a), the microtubules of the spindle (white) have attached and the chromosomes have lined up on the metaphase plate. During anaphase (b), the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
