Anaphase One

Anaphase 1 is the third stage of meiosis I, and is characterized by the separation of homologous chromosomes

Homologous chromosome separation: Homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite ends of the cell

Microtubule activity: Microtubules shorten and lengthen, pulling and pushing chromosomes and centrosomes

Cell elongation: The cell elongates as it prepares to divide

Spindle apparatus: The spindle apparatus moves chromosomes to the poles of the cell

Kinetochore microtubules: Kinetochore microtubules shorten, pulling homologous chromosomes to opposite poles

Non-kinetochore microtubules: Non-kinetochore microtubules lengthen, pushing centrosomes apart
