Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During anaphase, the chromosomes, which have duplicated during interphase, separate at the centromere and move to opposite poles of the dividing cell. The spindle fibers attached to the centromeres shorten and pull the sister chromatids apart towards the poles. As a result, each pole of the cell receives an identical, complete set of chromosomes.
