anaphase
**Remember anaphase means apart
The centromere does not divide during the anaphase of meiosis I. In this stage, homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles, but the sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres. Division of the centromere occurs later, during anaphase II of meiosis when the sister chromatids finally separate.
During anaphase in mitosis or meiosis II, the centromeres split, allowing each sister chromatid to be pulled to opposite ends of the dividing cell by the spindle fibers. This leads to the separation of the chromatids into individual chromosomes, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
Reduction Division
The main stage of meiosis is called the "reduction division" or "meiosis I." During this stage, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic information through a process called crossing over. They then separate, resulting in two cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Meiosis II then follows, where sister chromatids separate, resulting in four non-identical daughter cells.
The synaptonemal complex disappears during the diplotene stage of meiosis. This dissolution marks the end of the physical connection between homologous chromosomes, allowing them to separate and continue with the process of meiosis.

Reduction Division
Meiosis 1 is the first stage of meiosis where homologous chromosomes separate, resulting in two daughter cells with half the original number of chromosomes. Meiosis 2 is the second stage where sister chromatids separate, leading to the formation of four haploid daughter cells.
During the anaphase stage of mitosis, the centromeres of sister chromatids disjoin and the chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers.
Centromeres attach to spindle fibers during both meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, centromeres attach to spindle fibers during metaphase I, while in meiosis II, they attach during metaphase II. This attachment is crucial for the proper alignment and segregation of chromosomes during cell division.

Anaphase lAnaphase I
The stage of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids is called metaphase.
The synaptonemal complex disappears during the diplotene stage of meiosis. This dissolution marks the end of the physical connection between homologous chromosomes, allowing them to separate and continue with the process of meiosis.
Allele pairs separate during the process of meiosis, specifically during the anaphase I stage. This is when homologous chromosomes are pulled apart, causing the alleles to separate and end up in different daughter cells.
Meiosis I better mirrors the mitosis process because during this stage the homologous chromosomes separate, similar to the way sister chromatids separate during mitosis. Meiosis II, on the other hand, involves separating sister chromatids, which is not seen in mitosis.
It depends on whether you're talking about mitosis or meiosis. In mitosis, it is during anaphase. In meiosis, where the cell divides twice, centromeres aren't separated until anaphase II. In anaphase I, chromosomes are arranged as tetrads, and these tetrads are pulled apart to create two daughter cells, each with a full copy of the original cells' diploid chromosome.
