So in metaphase the spindle fibers attached to the kinetic cores of each chromosome and align the chromosomes along the center of our cell. Now let's move on to anaphase two. In anaphase two, once again, we have the process of this junction. What happens is our spindle fibers begin to basically contract, and they move or separate our two chromatids within our chromosome. So the spindle fibers pull on the chromosome from both ends, separating the chromatids. And notice that unlike an anaphase of mitosis, where we have genetically identical chromatids, in anaphase II of meiosis, these two chromatids are genetically different.
