Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The separation of sister chromatids occurs in anaphase, as the spindle fibers attached to the kinetochores of each chromatid begin to pull them apart toward their respective centrioles. In metaphase, the chromosomes align at the equator of the cell and are not yet separating. In prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible, but the separation has not yet occurred. Telophase is the final stage of mitosis, where the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes.
