2 Points
Genetic disorders can result when sister chromatids fail to separate properly.
During which phase is this problem most likely to occur?
It's in the anaphase that the spindle fibres holding onto the kinetochores of the sister chromatids will shorten and divide the centromere. Then, the sister chromarids will be pulled towards the opposite cell poles.
