Solution

The correct option is D All of these
At the onset of anaphase, each chromosome arranged at the metaphase plate is split simultaneously and the two daughter chromatids, now referred to as chromosomes of the future daughter nuclei, begin their migration towards the two opposite poles. As each chromosome moves away from the equatorial plate, the centromere of each chromosome is towards the pole and hence at the leading edge, with the arms of the chromosome trailing behind.
Thus, anaphase stage is characterised by the following key events:
Centromeres split and chromatids separate.
Chromatids move to opposite poles.
