Anaphase I

Locusta migratoriaLilium grandiflorumPetunia hybrida
meiosis: anaphase I in Locusta
meiosis: anaphase I in Lilium
meiosis: anaphase I in Petunia
At anaphase I the chromosomes move apart toward the opposite poles. At this stage of meiosis I the centromeres do not separate: chromatides within one chromosome stay together. This is a very important DIFFERENCE with anaphase in mitosis.
