Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During mitotic anaphase, the sister chromatids (which make up the duplicated chromosomes) separate and are pulled by the spindle fibers toward opposite poles of the cell. Therefore, the chromosomes are migrating from the equatorial plate (also known as the metaphase plate) toward the poles of the cell.
