Micrograph of a human epithelial cell undergoing anaphase. Following DNA replication, cells undergo mitosis to segregate their replicated chromosomes. The cell in the center is in the process of segregating its chromosomes (blue) to opposite ends using the mitotic spindle apparatus (green). This process occurs during anaphase. Thereafter, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided to produce two identical daughter cells.
