State whether the following is true or false.
Each chromatid becomes an independent chromosome once anaphase begins.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

Separation is the point at which the count of chromosomes doubles, even though no new DNA has been made. This is why the chromosome number quoted for a cell depends on the stage it has reached. Counting centromeres rather than arms avoids the ambiguity.
