Anaphase Flashcards
1

They divide to separate sister chromatids.
2
Q

A
The spindle fibers shorten due to the disassemblement of the microtubules using enzymes.
3

Not having the centromeres to hold everything together, what happens?

The sister chromatids are pulled to the opposite ends of each cell (poles). The chromatids are now chromosomes.
