Anaphase

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a bustling airport, and it's time for passengers to board their flights, each heading to different destinations. This chaotic moment is similar to anaphase in mitosis, where chromosomes, like passengers, separate from the central hub and move towards opposite poles, or 'gates,' to reach their final destinations. Just as passengers are guided to board their specific planes, ensuring they reach their intended locations, chromosomes are pulled apart by spindle fibers to ensure each new cell receives the correct genetic information.
