What does the chromosomes do in anaphase?
The centromeres split. The two chromatids separate, and each chromatid becomes a new chromosome. The new chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell. The cell stretches out as the opposite ends are pushed apart.
What phase do centromeres break?
Centromere splitting is something that happens to the Chromosomes during the M Phase (Mitosis) of cell division. During Anaphase (a phase in the M Phase), the centrioles that have sent out spindle fibers and are at opposite poles just tug at the centromere of the Chromosome, causing the centromere to split. Anaphase is basically centromere splitting, where the spindle fibers from the centrioles split the chromosome in half at the centromere.
What happens during anaphase 1and 2?
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
What is the function of polar?
The function of polar microtubules is to elongate while the centromere microtubules shorten, so the chromatids can reach the opposite poles (centrioles) of the cell.
What are the Main functions of a centromere?
Well the centromere in the center of the cell. it divides the nuccleous and really does all the work. For you kids in middle school who need to know this, its qutie simple the pro[hase and anaphase start the metaphase which leads into the interphase which DNA replication occurrs.

In what phase of mitosis do the sister chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell?
In the third stage, anaphase, the sister chromatids ofeach replicated chromosome begin to separate.Fibers pull the centromere apart and chromatidsmove away from each other, toward opposite ends of thecell.

The centromeres split. The two chromatids separate, and each chromatid becomes a new chromosome. The new chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell. The cell stretches out as the opposite ends are pushed apart.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and chromatids?
Chromosomes are the condensed and replicated form of DNA. The two identical halves of the chromosomes are known as sister chromatids. Before division, while the chromatids are still attached, they form one chromosome. However, when anaphase (i.e the stage when chromosomes split) starts and they are separated, the two chromatids on the opposite poles of the cell become complete chromosomes.

Centromere splitting is something that happens to the Chromosomes during the M Phase (Mitosis) of cell division. During Anaphase (a phase in the M Phase), the centrioles that have sent out spindle fibers and are at opposite poles just tug at the centromere of the Chromosome, causing the centromere to split. Anaphase is basically centromere splitting, where the spindle fibers from the centrioles split the chromosome in half at the centromere.
What is anaphase 2?
The centromeres of each chromosome finally separate, and the sister chromatids come apart. The sister chromatids of each chromosome now move as two individual chromosomes toward opposite poles.

During which phase of mitosis do the paired chromatids break apart at the centromere to become individual chromosomes before moving toward opposite poles of the cell?
Anaphase!! :)

What does anaphase mean?
During mitosis, each chromosome is made up of two clones, known as chromatids. These chromatids are joined together and look like two halves of an X. Anaphase is the period of mitosis when these chromatids separate at the middle and begin to move apart from each other. By separating the identical DNA halves, two new cells can be formed with the same genetic material as the original.
Which is the process during meiotic cell division where there is a separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that carry genes that perform the same functions. Seperation of these chromosomes occurs during Mitosis where sister chromatids will be separated and pulled to opposite sides of a dividing cell. It also occurs during Meiosis 1 and 2 where in meiosis homologous chromosome pairs will line for the first time on the metaphase plate and be pulled to opposite sides of the cell and once again (without duplicating again) line up on the metaphase plate and be pulled to opposite ends of the cell. So the separation of homologous chromosomes happens in Meiosis stage 1 where you have a diploid organism with 4 copies of its chromatids and these homologous chromosomes (chromatids connected by a centromere) are pulled to opposite ends of the cell.
