Understand the context of the problem: The question is about the events that occur during anaphase, a specific phase of mitosis.
Recall the stages of mitosis: Mitosis consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Each stage has distinct events.
Focus on anaphase: During anaphase, the key event is the separation of sister chromatids. This is facilitated by the shortening of microtubules attached to the kinetochores.
Differentiate from other phases: In metaphase, chromosomes align at the metaphase plate. In telophase, the nuclear envelope re-forms. Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm, typically occurs after mitosis.
Conclude with the correct event: In anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell, ensuring each new cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes.
