Here's a breakdown:
* Mitosis: This is the process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. During mitosis, the chromosomes are separated in a phase called anaphase, where they are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell by spindle fibers.
* Meiosis: This is the process of cell division that produces four gametes (sex cells) from a single parent cell. Meiosis involves two rounds of division, each with its own anaphase phase. In anaphase I, homologous chromosomes (pairs of chromosomes) are separated, and in anaphase II, sister chromatids (identical copies of a chromosome) are separated.
So, the specific process that separates chromosomes depends on the type of cell division occurring.
