During anaphase of mitosis, the chromosome number in each half of the dividing cell is:
A
4n (in a diploid cell)
B
2n
C
n
D
8n
Explanation
At anaphase of mitosis, centromeres split and sister chromatids move to opposite poles. In a diploid cell (2n), each pole receives 2n chromatids (now called chromosomes). So chromosome number at each pole = 4n if we count before division starts (4C content), but actually each pole has 2n chromosomes moving toward it.
