Solution
(i) Anaphase in a plant cell
(ii) A - Spindle fibre
B - Cell wall
(iii) The homologous daughter chromatids or chromosomes begin to move towards opposite poles.
(iv) This type of cell division occurs usually in the somatic cells.
(v) Two daughter cells are formed from this type of cell division.
(vi) The dividing cell shown is a plant cell because of the presence of cell wall and the absence of centriole.
