Q. At which stage of mitosis, the two daughter chromatids separate from each other, migrate towards the opposite poles and are now referred to as chromosomes of the future daughter nuclei?

Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

In anaphase, the centromeres of chromosomes start to divide into two, forming daughter chromosomes with centromere in each. Daughter chromosomes are repulsive, so they migrate towards opposite poles. Spindle fibres attached to the centromeres shorten and pull the chromosomes to the poles.
