They pull the sister chromatids apart.
In anaphase for both types of cell division, the centromeres of each chromosome separates and the spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromosomes. In mitosis, this is the shortest phase of cell division.However, the differences between mitosis and meiosis are different. Because meiosis is when chromosomes are "mixed and matched" in order to make new different combinations, the strands are only mixed up so when they split, they have new genes at their ends. Because mitosis is when chromosomes are duplicated, or cloned, and are copies of each other, when they split, the new cell is the exact same copy as the original.
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.
This occurs during the anaphase phase of mitosis. In anaphase, the microtubules shorten, pulling apart the sister chromatids at their centromeres. The separated chromatids are then pulled to opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
SIster chromatids move to opposite poles of the cell when the spindle fibres contract, pulling them apart. This occurs during the stage in mitosis known as anaphase.

The cell division process that shortens to pull the chromatids apart is called anaphase, which is a stage of mitosis and meiosis. During anaphase, the spindle fibers attached to the centromeres of the chromatids shorten, pulling the sister chromatids toward opposite poles of the cell. This ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
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.
The structure that is only present during mitosis is the mitotic spindle. This structure is composed of microtubules and is responsible for separating and pulling apart the sister chromatids to opposite poles of the cell. The formation of the mitotic spindle occurs during the prophase stage of mitosis and is crucial for ensuring accurate chromosome segregation. Once mitosis is complete, the spindle disassembles and is no longer present in the daughter cells.
The phase of mitosis where cells pull apart is called anaphase. During anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers. This ensures that each daughter cell receives an equal and complete set of chromosomes.
This occurs during the anaphase phase of mitosis. In anaphase, the microtubules shorten, pulling apart the sister chromatids at their centromeres. The separated chromatids are then pulled to opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
During anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are pulled apart and moved towards opposite poles of the cell. This separation occurs as the spindle fibers shorten, pulling each homologous chromosome, which consists of two sister chromatids, away from its partner. Unlike in mitosis, where sister chromatids separate, meiosis I involves the segregation of entire homologous chromosomes, reducing the chromosome number by half. This stage is crucial for creating genetic diversity, as it contributes to the random assortment of chromosomes.
Spindle Fibers
Spindle fibers are responsible for separating sister chromatids during mitosis by attaching to the centromere of each chromatid and pulling them toward opposite poles of the cell. This ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
