What is the major event in anaphase and why is it so critical to mitosis?
Do Allium cells remain permanently in interphase? Why or why not?
Thanks!

Anaphase, from the ancient Greek ανα (up) and φασις (stage), is the stage of mitosis when chromosomes separate in a eukaryotic cell. Each chromatid moves to opposite poles of the cell, the opposite ends of the mitotic spindle, near the microtubule organizing centers.
Anaphase is one of the most important part of mitosis becuse this stage is the last stage before Telophase, a stage of cell division. Earlier, it has been stated that in anaphase the chromatid moves to opposite poles of the cell, the opposite ends of the mitotic spindle, near the microtubule organizing centers.

Anaphase is where the sister chromatids begin to separate into the 2 newly forming cells. This process ensures that each cell gets 1 full copy of the genome.

anaphase is when the sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite poles. it is crucial because this process ensures that each daughter cell wil contain the same amount of chromosomes.
