Ask AI: What are the observable features of mitosis anaphase cytology stage

1. Chromosome separation: The primary feature of Anaphase is the separation of the sister chromatids. Each pair of chromatids divides, and the individual chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell. 2. Spindle Fibers: The spindle fibers shorten and pull the sister chromatids apart. These fibers are also connected to the centrioles, which are positioned at the two poles of the cell and aid in proper division. 3. Movement of Chromosomes: The divided chromosomes start to move towards the cell poles. As they move, they assume a 'V' shape due to the centromeric region leading the way. 4. Disappearance of the Metaphase Plate: With this separation, the metaphase plate, a plane in the middle of the cell where the chromosomes line up before separation, disappears. 5. Cell Elongation: The cell starts to elongate to prepare for the cell division that will follow in Telophase. 6. Kinetochores: The kinetochores are molecular machines that couple chromatid separation with cell division. One observable feature would be the bi-orientation of sister kinetochores, which signals the onset of Anaphase. 7. Nuclear envelope: The nuclear envelope, which dissolved in prophase, remains absent. Do remember to ensure you are viewing in proper microscopic conditions, as these minute details may be difficult to see under improper conditions.
