Mitosis
The term for when chromosomes fail to separate during cell division is called nondisjunction.
The phase of the cell cycle that duplicates chromosomes before division is called the S phase.
chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the process of cell division in a stage called prophase I of meiosis.
The orderly display of magnified images of each chromosome is called a karyotype. It is used to analyze the number, size, and structure of an individual's chromosomes, and can help identify genetic abnormalities or disorders. Karyotyping is often used in genetic testing and research.
The phase where chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the cell is called metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align along the cell's equator before they are separated into two sets during cell division.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.
The process of chromosomes separating during cell division is called "chromosome segregation" or "chromosome disjunction." This ensures that each new cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
During cell division, chromatin condenses and coils up into chromosomes through a process called supercoiling. This involves the wrapping of DNA around proteins called histones, forming nucleosomes which then further coil and condense to create the compact structure of chromosomes.
the stage is called the "first division"
The failure of replicated chromosomes to separate is called nondisjunction. This can lead to an abnormal number of chromosomes in daughter cells during cell division, which can result in genetic disorders such as Down syndrome.
The phase of cell division when duplicated chromosomes first appear is called the prophase. In prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to be more clearly visible.
