The process described in your question is called anaphase. One can remember this step of the cell cycle easily because the chromosomes form 'A' shapes at the ends of the poles- and 'A' is of course the first letter of anaphase. The next step in the cell cycle is telophase- where the cell undergoes cytokinesis- splitting to form two new cells.

What structures pull the chromosomes apart?

The spindle fibers, which are composed of microtubules, pull the chromosomes apart during cell division. These fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes and help guide them to opposite poles of the cell during mitosis or meiosis.


Do the individual chromosomes move apart in mitosis or meiosis?

Yes, in both mitosis and meiosis, the individual chromosomes move apart during cell division. In mitosis, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move to opposite poles of the cell, while in meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate in the first division and sister chromatids separate in the second division.


Which phase do homologous chromosomes separate?

Anaphase I, and then again in Anaphase II--two seperations occur in meiosis.


During what phase of meiosis do chromosomes pull apart?

The sister-chromatids are separated during anaphase.They are pulled apart by microtubules of the cytoskeleton. Once apart, they are known as chromosomes (or daughter-chromosomes).


What is the phase when homologues are separating?

The phase when homologues are separating is called anaphase I of meiosis. During this phase, homologous chromosomes are pulled apart and migrate to opposite poles of the cell.


When do the tetrads get pulled apart in meosis?

In meiosis, the tetrads (group of four chromatids) get pulled apart during anaphase I. This is when homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell, resulting in the reduction of chromosome number from diploid to haploid.


During meiosis twin chromosomes split apart and move to the?

opposite poles of the cell, ensuring that each gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome. This is important for maintaining the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.


What stage in meiosis the tetrads separate?

During meiosis, tetrads, which are connected by a synapse partway down their length, line up along the cellular equator during metaphase I. The tetrads are then separated during anaphase I as the spindle fibers pull the tetrads apart towards opposite sides of the cell.


What happens in meiosis during anaphase I?

The chromosomes split equally and move to the opposite sides of the cell.


When do the chromosomes separate in mitosis?

Sister chromatids separate during Anaphase II of meiosis.*They are pulled apart and then start moving to opposite sides of the cell.


What is spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids apart?

During anaphase I of meiosis the spindle fibers pull apart in homologous chromosomes. The spindle fibers are composed of micro-tubules. The spindle fibers continue to shorten during anaphase in order to bring the chromosomes at two poles.During anaphase I of meiosis the spindle fibers pull apart in homologous chromosomes.

How is antaphase 2 in meiosis similar to anaphase in mitosis?

The centrioles move apart to opposite ends of the cell, the chromosomes become attached to the fiber connected to centrioles pulling the chromatids apart; when this is over all the chromatids line up.
