The homologous chromosomes (as pairs of sister chromatids) separate to opposite poles of the cell.
In Meiosis I: Separates homologous chromosomes In Meiosis II: Separates sister chromatids
In anaphase I the tetrad is pulled to separate polls and the sister chromatids, representing one chromosome. are still attached. In anaphase II these sister chromatids are pulled to the polls again and you have a cell with one n number male or female chromosome. The point of meiosis.
Cells produced at the end of telophase 2 (the final stage of meosis 2) become gametes containing haploid number of chromosomes.
Anaphase 1: 1. Breakdown of proteins responsible for sister chromatid cohesion along chromatid arms allows homologs to separate. 2. The homologs move toward opposite poles, guided by the spindle apparatus. 3. Sister chromatid cohesion persists at the centromere, causing chromatids to move as a unit towards the same pole. At anaphase 1 of meiosis, the replicated chromosomes of each homologous pair move toward opposite poles, but the sister chromatids of each replicated chromosome remain attached. In anaphase of mitosis, by contrast, sister chromatids separate. Reference Cambell et al. Biology (8th Ed) 2008. Benjamin Cummings. pg 254-257
Sister Chromatids separate from each other just like mitosis .
The chromosomes split equally and move to the opposite sides of the cell.
The homologous chromosomes (as pairs of sister chromatids) separate to opposite poles of the cell.
The chromatids are pulled apart.
They separate in anaphase and become chromosomes in new daughter cells
first it becomes two chromatids, then during prophase, chromosomes condense from long strands into rod like structures. During METAPHASE paired chromatids align at the cell's equation. Then during ANAPHASE the paired chromatids separate and move to the opposite side of the cell. During TELOPHASE a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense.
It is the failure of chromosome pairs to separate properly during cell division.
During the anaphase stage of mitosis the two chromatids become separate chromosomes. The chromatids are pulled apart and move toward their centrosomes. As they move toward the poles, the centrosomes go first, followed by the chromatids, forming a â??vâ?? shape.
During cell division the chromosomes are copied and they form sister chromatids. Then the mitotic spindle attaches to the sister chromatids and pulls them apart, splitting the nucleus in two. Then the cell goes through cytokenesis and the cell membrane is pinched together in the center, this divides the organelles and the cytoplasm between the two daughter cells.

the chromatids holding the chromosome together loosen
breaks off and attach to adjacent chromatids on the homologous chromosome
