chromosome separation
id: GO:0051304
name: chromosome separation
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: The cell cycle process in which paired chromosomes are detached from each other. Chromosome separation begins with the release of cohesin complexes from chromosomes; in budding yeast, this includes the cleavage of cohesin complexes along the chromosome arms, followed by the separation of the centromeric regions. Chromosome separation also includes formation of chromatid axes mediated by condensins, and ends with untanglement of inter-sister catenation catalyzed by topoisomerase II (topo II).
