Sister chromatids diverge to the cell poles in: telophase of mitosis anaphase of mitosis anaphase I of meiosis prophase of mitosis metaphase I of meiosis

The correct answer is: anaphase of mitosis.<br /><br />During anaphase of mitosis, the sister chromatids, which were previously paired up during metaphase, are pulled apart by the spindle fibers and move towards opposite poles of the cell. This separation ensures that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes during cell division.
