Chromosomes begin migrating towards poles of the cell during ________.

A) interphase
B) prophase
C) metaphase
D) anaphase
E) telophase

Anaphase

Time during cell division when chromatids divide (or, in the case of first meiosis, when the chromosome pairs divide).

Telophase

Time during cell division when the chromosomes are pulled by spindle fibers away from the cell equator and into the two halves of the dividing cell.

Prophase

First stage in cell division when chromatin strands condense to form chromosomes.
