<strong>Mitosis</strong>: The Stages of <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Division</strong><br />

3.Anaphase<br />

Centromeres of sister chromatids begin to separate.<br />

Each chromatid is now an independent daughter<br />

chromosome.<br />

The separate chromosomes are pulled toward opposite<br />

ends by spindle microtubules, attached to the<br />

kinetochores.<br />

<strong>Cell</strong> elongates as poles move farther apart.<br />

Anaphase ends when a complete set of chromosomes<br />

reaches each pole.
