some of spindle fibers attached improperly and accidentally pulled both chromatids of a chromosome to one side

Question

of the cell. How might this be problematic for the cell?

Answer 1

The cell that recieves the lower number of chromosomes will not have a complete strand of DNA. This problem will be escalated when the cell cannot produce necessary proteins because it does not have genes for RNA synthesis.

The cell with a double chromosome will probably survive. During telophase, the second set of the chromosome will be broken down into nucleotides needed for the future.

If this is an a gamete, the sperm will carry a mutated form of the DNA, and will prove harmful to the offspring. Because of the speed of anaphase, there would be almost no way to correct this sort of error, and could not be stopped.

Answer 2

the side that didnt' get any DNA will die for sure

the one with both sets will either go into an immediate mitosis stage after the cycle it's or die itself
if they are sex cells, they will live and the danger will be in the embryo/fetus it may end up being a part of

Answer 3

during the S phase check this will get corrected i think
