During the cell division phase called metaphase, the microtubules ... Next, during anaphase, the chromosomes are simultaneously separated and pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell.

During metaphase, the microtubules pull the sister ... The separated chromosomes are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell. Anaphase ensures that each daughter cell receives ...

Kinetochore capture by spindle microtubules and the subsequent chromosome movements occur via highly dynamic microtubules that maintain kinetochore attachment during significant microtubule turnover.

These phases are conventionally separated into prophase, metaphase, anaphase ... Central to this process are microtubules, the mitotic spindle, centromeres, kinetochores, and mitotic checkpoints.
