WHY do the 2 sets of chromatids move away from each other?

So that each set of chromosomes can be put into a different nucleus

So that one set of chromatids can diffuse out of the cell

So the cell can grow

1 answer

The correct answer to why the two sets of chromatids move away from each other during cell division (specifically during mitosis) is:

So that each set of chromosomes can be put into a different nucleus.

During mitosis, the chromatids are pulled apart to ensure that each new daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes, which ensures proper genetic material distribution. The other options don't accurately reflect the purpose of chromatid separation in cell division.
