Does a cell take the least amount of time in the anaphase or telophase? Explain your answer please! Thanks!

Question

I think it should be anaphase because during anaphase chromatids attached to the same centromere separate and move to opposite poles of the spindle. Centromeres split before the chromatids separate and are pulled along the axis of the spindle.
Telophase is where cytokinesis occur. There the big parent cell should divide into 2 daughter cells (that's in mitosis) . So for that the replicated DNA , organelle should move and the cell plate or the cleavage furrow should be made . SO that takes up a little more time than anaphase.

I was just confused because I knew it was anaphase but I saw a couple of things saying that it was telophase. @Rushwr

oh alright. Let me check and see.

Okay @Rushwr

rushwr · Answer

They haven't specifically mentioned if it is during mitosis or meiosis right?

anonymous · Answer

It's mitosis. @Rushwr

It says it's anaphase, though in the lab I conducted it said that it's the telophase.

rushwr · Answer

Yeah then the answer is anaphase.
