Centromere dividation occurs during which stage of Mitosis?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Centromere division occurs during the Anaphase stage of Mitosis.
It is the stage of mitosis after the process of metaphase when replicated chromosomes are split and the newly-copied chromosomes (daughter chromatids) are moved to opposite poles of the cell.
The centromeres are split, and the sister chromatids are pulled toward the poles by kinetochore microtubules. They take on a V-shape or Y-shape as they are pulled to either pole.
