Q. In the meiosis type of cell division, the centromere divides during which stage?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

Anaphase II is the stage when sister chromatids of every chromosome separate and begin to move towards the opposite ends of the cell. Splitting of centromere occurs in this stage. The separation and the movement are due to the shortening of the kinetochore microtubules. Anaphase II precedes telophase II.
