Question 14 • Anatomy & Physiology A

What is the purpose of anaphase?

Answer
A
to assist the DNA in forming proteins and chromosomes
B
to promote the growth of new chromosomes within the cell
C
to provide space within the cell for chromosomes to move around
D
to ensure that each daughter cell gets a complete copy of the parent’s DNA

Explanation

During anaphase, the duplicated chromosomes separate, and their sister chromatids move toward opposite ends of the cell. This helps ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete copy of the parent cell’s DNA, so the correct choice is D.
