The answer is the second one: The chromatids are pulled towards different centrioles.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The chromatids are pulled towards different centromeres.

    • Incorrect. During anaphase, chromatids are not pulled towards centromeres. Instead, they are pulled apart from each other.
  2. The chromatids are pulled towards different centrioles.

    • Correct. During anaphase, sister chromatids are separated and pulled towards opposite poles of the cell, where the centrioles are located.
  3. The chromatids are pulled towards the same centriole.

    • Incorrect. If chromatids were pulled towards the same centriole, they would not be properly separated, which is not what happens during anaphase.
  4. The chromatids are pulled towards the same centromere.

    • Incorrect. Chromatids are originally connected at the centromere, but during anaphase, they are pulled apart towards opposite poles, not towards the same centromere.

Summary: During anaphase, the chromatids are pulled towards different centrioles, ensuring that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes.
