Final answer:

The mitotic spindle functions to pull sister chromatids apart during mitosis.


Explanation:

The function of the mitotic spindle is to pull sister chromatids apart during mitosis. The spindle fibers separate the sister chromatids into newly recognized chromosomes by pulling at the centromeres of chromosomes and stretching the cell to form two new nuclei. In anaphase, mitotic spindle fibers shorten and pull sister chromatids towards opposite poles.
