What does anaphase mean?

Answer 1

During mitosis, each chromosome is made up of two clones, known as chromatids. These chromatids are joined together and look like two halves of an X.

Anaphase is the period of mitosis when these chromatids separate at the middle and begin to move apart from each other. By separating the identical DNA halves, two new cells can be formed with the same genetic material as the original.

Answer 2

In meiosis there are two stages of anaphase. In Anaphase I the chromosomes pairs move to opposite poles of the cell, each pole has a mixture of maternal and paternal chromosome pairs. In Anaphase II the chromatids of each chromosome pair are separated to opposite poles of the cell.

Answer 3

Anaphase begins when the two centromeres of each chromosome come apart, separating the sister chromatids. once,separating the sister chromatid is considered a full-fledeged (daughter) chromosome. motor proteins of the kinetochores,powered by ATP,"walk" the daughter chromosomes centromere-first along the microtubules attached to the kinetochores shorten. however, the spindle microtubules not attached to chromosomes lengthen. the poles are moved farther apart, elongating the cell. anaphase is over when equivalent - and complete- collections of chromosomes have reached the two poles of the cell.

Answer 4

The meaning of the word "anaphase" is the stage of meiotic or mitotic cell division in which the chromosomes move away from another to opposite poles of the spindle.
