Mitotic anaphase differs from metaphase in possessing
(a) same number of chromosomes and same number of chromatids
(b) half number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids
(c) half number of chromosomes and same number of chromatids
(d) same number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids.
Option d is correct
Explanation: Mitotic anaphase differs from metaphase in possessing the same number of chromosomes and half number of chromatids. During anaphase of mitosis, chromosomes divide at the point of centromere or kinetochore and thus two sister chromatids are formed which are called as chromosomes.
While during metaphase, chromosomes become maximally distinct due to further contraction and thus the size of chromosomes is measured at mitotic metaphase.
