Detailed explanation-1: -In anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sister chromatids separate during anaphase I.
Detailed explanation-3: -During anaphase, sister chromatids (or homologous chromosomes for meiosis I), will separate and move to opposite poles of the cell, pulled by microtubules. In nondisjunction, the separation fails to occur causing both sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes to be pulled to one pole of the cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Metaphase leads to anaphase, during which each chromosome’s sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. Enzymatic breakdown of cohesin-which linked the sister chromatids together during prophase-causes this separation to occur.
