Anaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Is anaphase 1 part of mitosis?

Firstly, there is no anaphase I in mitosis, only anaphase. Mitosis is a single-step process where one cell becomes two. Meiosis is a two-step process, first creating two cells out of one, and then four cells out of those two.

Is anaphase 2 mitosis or meiosis?

Anaphase in meiosis

The anaphase of meiosis is made up of two consecutive cell divisions, i.e anaphase I and anaphase II. In this stage of meiosis, since there is no DNA replication in between, the diploid cell with two alleles for each gene gets reduced to a haploid cell containing a single allele at each gene.
