If there are 8 centromeres in metaphase, how many centromeres will be present in anaphase?A. 4B. 8C. 16D. 32

Respuesta :

Answer:

B.8

Explanation:

In a dividing cell, each chromosome consists of two chromatids. Both the chromatids remain attached at the centromeres. If in a dividing cell there are 8 centromeres, indicates that dividing cell has 8 chromosomes. Chromosomes separate during anaphase. The cell is still dividing and not separated into two daughter cells. Therefore, if the cell has 8 centromeres during metaphase, the same number of centromeres will be present during anaphase. Thus, 8 is the correct answer.
