when cells break apart and when the chromosomes duplicate
The chromosome number is halved during cell division in meiosis, not mitosis.

MITOSIS
Mitosis is cell division in which the chromosome number stays the same. Although at some points throughout the cell cycle, chromosomes may consist of two sister chromatids
During cell division, the chromosome number remains constant. In mitosis, each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes to the parent cell. In meiosis, the chromosome number is halved to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
At the beginning of cell division, DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and contain the genetic material (DNA) of an organism.
Cell division is the process by which a cell divides into two daughter cells. Chromosome duplication occurs during the cell cycle when the DNA is replicated to create identical copies of each chromosome. This ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
The failure of chromosome pairs to separate properly during cell division.
Genes, Chromosome, Cell Division
mitosis is the process of cell division where in the chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed into two daughter cells . the chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that in the parent cell..i.e. diploid hence mitosis is known as equational division..
It is the failure of chromosome pairs to separate properly during cell division.
