Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Metaphase leads to anaphase, during which each chromosome’s sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -During anaphase, the sister chromatids are separated simultaneously at their centromeres. The separated chromosomes are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Powering chromosome movement (microtubules) The most prominent structure in a mitotic cell is the bipolar spindle (made up of microtubules and associated motor proteins), which provides the force to move chromosomes and thereby bring about their segregation.
