During mitosis, each chromosome is made up of two clones, known as chromatids. These chromatids are joined together and look like two halves of an X.
Anaphase is the period of mitosis when these chromatids separate at the middle and begin to move apart from each other. By separating the identical DNA halves, two new cells can be formed with the same genetic material as the original.
