During which stages of mitosis and meiosis, respectively does the centromere of each chromosome split?
A
Metaphase, Metaphase II
B
Prophase, Telophase I
C
Telophase, Anaphase I
D
Anaphase, Anaphase II
Detailed Solution
The centromere of each chromosome splits during anaphase of mitosis (separating sister chromatids), and during anaphase II of meiosis (since in meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate without centromere splitting).
