Example
The separation of chromosomes in anaphase is a critical step in maintaining genetic stability during cell division.
During anaphase of mitosis, sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite ends of the cell.
Spindle fibers shorten and pull chromatids apart during anaphase, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
The cell cycle involves phases such as interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis, collectively contributing to mitosis.
Metaphase marks a critical checkpoint before chromosomes are pulled apart in anaphase during mitosis.
