Answer 1

Based on the information provided, the cells that are actively in anaphase are characterized by having 2 groups of chromatids that are in the process of separating. You mentioned that there are 19 cells that have 2 groups of chromatids in the process of separating, which is indicative of anaphase.

Therefore, the number of cells in anaphase is 19.
