Difference b/w metaphase and anaphase

1.	Difference b/w metaphase and anaphase
Answer» In metaphase, the microtubules of the spindle (white) have attached and the chromosomes have lined up on the metaphase plate. The chromosomes coil up, the nuclear membrane begins to disintegrate, and the centrosomes begin moving apart. Spindle fibers form and sister chromatids align to the equator of the cell. Sister chromatids separate. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.\xa0Anaphase\xa0A is characterized by the shortening of kinetochore microtubules, which pulls the chromosomes toward the poles.\xa0During anaphase B, the two poles move farther apart, bringing the chromosomes with them into what will become the two daughter cells.
