Question

The diagrams are showing a cell undergoing a mitotic division at different points of Anaphase. Use the ABC labels on the drawings to indicate the sequential order.
Responses
A A - B - then CA - B - then C
B B - C - then AB - C - then A
C B - A - then CB - A - then C
D A - C - then B

Answer 1

To determine the correct sequence of the diagrams during Anaphase of mitosis, we need to consider the general behavior of chromosomes during this stage:

1. During Anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
2. The correct order would reflect the progression of chromatids separating and moving to each side of the cell.

Assuming that A, B, and C represent different stages of this separation, let’s analyze the options:

- **Option A**: A - B - then C
- **Option B**: B - C - then A
- **Option C**: B - A - then C
- **Option D**: A - C - then B

Based on the typical progression of Anaphase, the best sequential order to reflect the process would likely be that, initially, chromatids appear close together (possibly represented by A), then they begin to separate and be pulled apart (B), and finally, they reach their respective poles (C).

Given this reasoning, **Option A** (A - B - then C) is likely the most logical progression during Anaphase in mitosis.
