ANAPHASE

OBJECTIVES

WHAT YOU SHOULD ACCOMPLISH

AT THE END OF THIS COURSE

You will be able to identify the purpose

of the anaphase in the 5 phases of
mitosis.
ANAPHASE
The Anaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis. In anaphase, the sister
chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite
ends of the cell.
THE PROTEIN “GLUE” MICROTUBULES NOT
THAT HOLDS THE SISTER ATTACHED TO
CHROMATIDS TOGETHER CHROMOSOMES
IS BROKEN DOWN, ELONGATE AND PUSH
ALLOWING THEM TO APART, SEPARATING THE
SEPARATE. EACH IS NOW POLES AND MAKING THE
ITS OWN CHROMOSOME. CELL LONGER.
THE CHROMOSOMES OF

EACH PAIR ARE PULLED

TOWARDS OPPOSITE
ENDS OF THE CELL.
ANAPHASE
All of these processes are driven by motor proteins, molecular
machines that can “walk” along microtubule tracks and carry a cargo.
In mitosis, motor proteins carry chromosomes or other microtubules as
they walk.
