During which phase of mitosis do the centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell?
A
Telophase
B
Prophase
C
Metaphase
D
Anaphase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of mitosis, which is divided into several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Recall that during prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Recognize that centrioles play a crucial role in cell division by organizing the mitotic spindle fibers.
Identify that during prophase, the centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell, setting the stage for the alignment of chromosomes.
Note that the movement of centrioles to opposite poles is essential for the subsequent phases of mitosis, ensuring proper chromosome segregation.
