Sister chromatids segregate during B. anaphase II of meiosis and C. anaphase of mitosis
The sister chromatids in the mitosis type of cell division happen in the anaphase. This phase comes right after the metaphase and in this phase, the chromosomes sister chromatids segregate and move towards the opposite poles of the cell. This segregation happens because of the enzymatic hydrolysis of cohesin which binds the sister chromatids together. Now, after segregation, each becomes a separate chromosome.
A similar incident happens in the anaphase II of meiosis where the sister chromatids separate and are pulled towards the opposite pole being segregated.
