How many chromosomes are there in anaphase?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the specific number of chromosomes present during the anaphase stage of cell division. Anaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis where chromosomes are separated into sister chromatids, so the answer will depend on whether it's referring to a diploid or haploid organism.
Answer
92 chromosomes
The final answer is 92 chromosomes.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 92 chromosomes.
More Information
During anaphase of mitosis, each chromatid is considered a separate chromosome, resulting in a doubling of the chromosome number from the original. For a human cell, which starts with 46 chromosomes, this results in 92 chromosomes during anaphase.
