Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the choices below involves pulling sister chromatids apart & to opposite sides of the cell; making sure chromosomes are separated into opposite sides of the cell. Without them, chromosomes would not be divided between two cells.
A
Chomatin
B
Spindle fibers
C
DNA
D
Natural fibers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In anaphase, the chromatids separate and are pulled by the microtubules to opposite ends of the cell. Finally, in telophase, the nuclear envelopes reappear, the chromosomes unwind into chromatin, and the cell undergoes cytokinesis, which splits the cell into 2 identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromatid The two “sister” chromatids are joined at a constricted region of the chromosome called the centromere. During cell division, spindle fibers attach to the centromere and pull each of the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sister chromatids separate from one another and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell. The microtubules that are not attached to chromosomes push the two poles of the spindle apart, while the kinetochore microtubules pull the chromosomes towards the poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Figure 6: Anaphase II involves separation of the sister chromatids. During anaphase II, microtubules from each spindle attach to each sister chromatid at the kinetochore. The sister chromatids then separate, and the microtubules pull them to opposite poles of the cell.
