During metaphase 1, the spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of each chromosome. Both kinetochores of each sister chromatid pair are turned toward the same pole. And 2 members of each chromosome pair (sister chromatids) are pulled into each new cell during anaphase 1.

I think the answer you want is they are called chromatids.
