Detailed explanation-1: -Anaphase. After metaphase is complete, the cell enters anaphase. During anaphase, the microtubules attached to the kinetochores contract, which pulls the sister chromatids apart and toward opposite poles of the cell (Figure 3c). At this point, each chromatid is considered a separate chromosome.
Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase: During anaphase, the centromere splits, allowing the sister chromatids to separate. The kinetochore spindle fibers shorten, allowing for 46 of the newly-freed chromatids to be dragged to one end of the cell and the remaining 46 chromatids to be dragged to the opposite end of the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -In anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell. In telophase II, nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sister chromatids are pulled apart during anaphase of mitosis. Sister chromatids are joined at the centromere and are genetically identical to each other. Each of the two sister chromatids goes to the new daughter cell. Telophase occurs right after anaphase.
