Just after the nuclear membrane dissolves and once the chromosomes have cloned themselves to form two chromatids connected by a centomere. The spindle fibers then attach to each chromosome.
In anaphase for both types of cell division, the centromeres of each chromosome separates and the spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromosomes. In mitosis, this is the shortest phase of cell division.However, the differences between mitosis and meiosis are different. Because meiosis is when chromosomes are "mixed and matched" in order to make new different combinations, the strands are only mixed up so when they split, they have new genes at their ends. Because mitosis is when chromosomes are duplicated, or cloned, and are copies of each other, when they split, the new cell is the exact same copy as the original.
Because every cell in the human body contains the formula for our chromosomes. If the chromosomes don't reproduce, then new duplicate cells cannot be formed.
In meiosis, during prophase I, each chromosome pairs with its homologous chromosome to form a structure known as a tetrad. This pairing allows for the exchange of genetic material through a process called crossing over, which increases genetic diversity. In contrast, during prophase of mitosis, chromosomes do not pair with homologous chromosomes; instead, they align independently without genetic exchange. This key difference is crucial for the distinct outcomes of meiosis and mitosis.
Mitosis.
Every chromosome is a different size so the number of base pairs is different for each chromosome. X chromosome has more that 153 million base pairs (greater that 306 million bases) Y chromosome has around 50 million base pairs (around 100 million bases)
every and any DNA strand can constitue to a chromosome :)
Chromosomes are genetic information condensed from chromatin during cellular division. Chromatin is located within the nucleus of a cell, but during either mitosis or meiosis, chromosomes are formed and enter the dividing cell before reaching the equatorial plate where they are torn apart to separate daughter cells by the spindle apparatus.

Chromosome duplication ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information. This process also helps to maintain the proper chromosome number in the daughter cells after cell division. Duplicate chromosomes allow for accurate segregation of genetic material during mitosis, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a copy of every chromosome.
