Chromosome and Spindle Movement in Anaphase

Anaphase is the stage of cell division when chromosomes move apart. In this phase, sister chromatids separate and travel toward opposite poles of the cell.

Chromosome movement in anaphase can happen in two ways. In anaphase A, chromosomes move closer to the poles as the microtubules attached to t...

Chromosome segregation takes place during anaphase: when the sister-chromatids separate and the individual chromatids move toward the opposite poles of the cell.

Anaphase progression constitutes two independent but overlapping processes: Anaphase A and Anaphase B.

During Anaphase A, in the absence of sister-chromatid cohesion, two ...
