Question

How many cells are in anaphase?

Answer 1

In anaphase, each chromosome splits into two sister chromatids and the spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids towards opposite poles of the cell. As a result, each cell in anaphase will have double the number of chromosomes compared to the original cell. Therefore, the number of cells in anaphase remains the same as the number of cells in the previous stage (usually prophase, metaphase, or telophase) since there is no division of cells during anaphase.
