What happens to the centromere of each chromosome during anaphase?

What happens to the centromere of each chromosome during anaphase?
  1. It splits and separates
  2. It moves to the equatorial plate
  3. It remains directed towards the pole
  4. It attaches to spindle fibres

Solution

As each chromosome moves away from the equatorial plate, the centromere of each chromosome remains directed towards the pole and hence at the leading edge, with the arms of the chromosome trailing behind.
