Detailed explanation-1: -Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate to opposite ends of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase: During anaphase, the centromere splits, allowing the sister chromatids to separate.
Detailed explanation-3: -In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell. The protein “glue” that holds the sister chromatids together is broken down, allowing them to separate. Each is now its own chromosome. The chromosomes of each pair are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Once sister chromatids have separated (during the anaphase of mitosis or the anaphase II of meiosis during sexual reproduction), they are again called chromosomes, each having the same genetic mass as one of the individual chromatids that made up its parent.
Detailed explanation-5: -During anaphase the centromeres divide and the chromatids start moving towards the two opposite poles.
