What is the reason why anaphase is important in mitosis?

It is the phase when the chromosomes move to opposite parts of the cells. This allows them to be actually divided when the cell splits. In the image, the chromosomes are moving to the opposite sides so they can be divided in telophase. read more

Mitosis is important because it is essential for growth and repair in the body. Mitosis happens when a parent cell divides, creating two identical copies, referred to as daughter cells. During this process, it is essential that the daughter cells are exactly the same with the same copies of DNA. read more

After anaphase, the cleavage furrow forms, chromosomes de-condense, and cell abscission takes place to complete cytokinesis. So in a culture dish containing asynchronous human cells, only 5% of cells are likely to be mitotic, and 0.5% are likely to be undergoing anaphase. read more
