Answer 1

During anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is B. Anaphase. During anaphase, the sister chromatids, which are identical copies of each other, separate and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers. This process ensures that each daughter cell will receive a complete set of chromosomes during cell division.
