During anaphase, the centrosomes (which have moved to opposite poles of the cell) release microtubules from their centrioles which then pull the chromosomes towards them, the double stranded chromosomes then split at the centromere and thus each pole of the chromosome has a copy of every chromosome.

I assume you're talking about meiotic division though and in this case the spindle fibres/ microtubules dont split the chromosomes in half, rather, the chromosomes line up in homologous pairs (instead of in single file) and the spindle fibres pull one of the entire homologous double stranded chromosomes to its designated pole.

When do homologous chromosomes separate into the daughter cells?

They are separated in Anaphase I of Meiosis I.


What will separate in the first division in meiosis one?

Homologous chromosomes will separate in the first division of meiosis 1, moving to opposite poles of the cell in a process called disjunction. This results in the reduction of the chromosome number by half.


Homologous chromosomes segregate towards opposite poles of a dividing cell during which stage?

Homologous chromosomes segregate towards opposite poles of a dividing cell during the anaphase stage of mitosis.


When do homologous chromosomes move towards opposite poles in meiosis?

In Anaphase I of meiosis.


What happens to DNA in anaphase?

The homologous chromosomes (as pairs of sister chromatids) separate to opposite poles of the cell.


Which phase do homologous chromosomes separate?

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


What phase will homologous chromosomes move away from each other?

Homologous chromosomes move away from each other during anaphase I of meiosis, which is when the spindle fibers pull the homologous chromosomes to opposite poles of the cell. This separation allows each daughter cell to receive a complete set of chromosomes.


How is metaphase I of meiosis different from metaphase II in terms of chromosome alignment and segregation?

In metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes align in pairs at the center of the cell, while in metaphase II, individual chromosomes align singularly at the center. Additionally, in metaphase I, homologous chromosomes segregate to opposite poles, while in metaphase II, sister chromatids segregate to opposite poles.


What happens to the homologous pair of chromosomes during the anaphase stage?

The chromosomes are dividing and becoming new chromosomes.


What happens at the end of metaphase 1?

At the end of metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes line up along the cell's equator. This alignment allows for the independent assortment of genetic material during anaphase I, where the homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.


How is metaphase I of meiosis different from metaphase of mitosis in terms of chromosome alignment and segregation?

In metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes align in pairs at the cell's equator, while in metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes align singly. Additionally, in metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes segregate to opposite poles, whereas in mitosis, chromosomes segregate randomly to the daughter cells.


What happens in anaphase 1?

In anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. This is important for reducing the chromosome number by half, ensuring each daughter cell receives a unique set of chromosomes. Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.
