Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Chromosomes that results from the separation of sister chromatids during cell division are called daughter chromosomes. During anaphase of mitosis, paired chromosomes (sister chromatids) separates to form daughter chromosomes.

Each daughter chromosome migrates to centromere, toward the opposite ends of the cell. At the end of cell division, two distinct daughter cells are formed from a single cell
