Which phase of cell division involves the centrioles moving to each side?

Anaphase
Prophase
Mitosis
Interphase

The correct answer is: Anaphase

During the phase of anaphase in cell division, the centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell. This movement of the centrioles helps to form the mitotic spindle, which then helps in the separation of sister chromatids towards the opposite ends of the cell. This phase is crucial for the proper distribution of genetic material into two daughter cells. In contrast: - Prophase is the phase where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear membrane breaks down. - Mitosis is a broad term encompassing all the stages of cell division, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. - Interphase is not a phase of cell division; instead, it is the phase during which the cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and prepares for division.
