During anaphase of mitosis, how do chromosomes split apart?
A
The chromosomes condense and become visible.
B
The nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
C
The chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
D
The sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers.

Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recognize that anaphase is a specific stage of mitosis where the separation of sister chromatids occurs.
During anaphase, the spindle fibers, which are structures made of microtubules, attach to the centromeres of the sister chromatids.
The spindle fibers shorten, pulling the sister chromatids apart toward opposite poles of the cell.
This separation ensures that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes, completing the process of mitosis.
