This phase involves a drastic lengthening of the (*) polar microtubule and shortening of the kinetochore microtubule, and during this phase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart and moved to opposite poles of the cell.
The protein phosphatase Cdc14 is kept inactive by Cfi/Net1 until this process, when it is activated by the MEN and FEAR networks. In newt cells, this process involves a depolymerization at about 50 subunits per second, and it exerts a force of about 10 to the minus 5 dynes, far more than needed to overcome viscous drag. This phase is triggered by the inactivation of maturation promoting factor, which occurs after the degradation of cyclin B. This phase involves a drastic lengthening of the (*) polar microtubule and shortening of the kinetochore microtubule, and during this phase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart and moved to opposite poles of the cell. For 10 points, name this phase of the cell cycle that comes after metaphase and before telophase.
