In which direction are the centromeres directed during separation of chromosomes?

In which direction are the centromeres directed during separation of chromosomes? Correct Answer Towards the poles

Separation of the sister chromatids occurs during the third stage of mitosis, known as anaphase. The centromeres of each chromatid are directed towards the poles while the arms of the chromosomes trail behind them.
