Anaphase+230



__Anaphase__ is the third stage of mitosis, or cell division. **__Anaphase__ begins when the paired chromatids separate and become 2 new, whole chromosomes. These are called daughter chromosomes. ** **Using proteins, located at the centromeres, the daughter chromosomes move down the spindle microtubules slowly toward the poles. The microtubules actually shrink or shorten in order to bring the chromosomes to the poles. **  **__Anaphase__ can sometimes be divided into early __anaphase__ and late __anaphase__. Early anaphase is when the chromatids break apart, and late anaphase is when the chromatids (now chromosomes) get pulled to opposite ends of the spindle. By the end of __anaphase__, there will be two copies of the genetic material on opposite ends of the spindle . **
