The chromosomes line up so that the sister chromatids can get separated by the pulling action of spindle fibres. These sister chromatids are then divided into the two cells - one cell gets each. The lining up is important so that there is equal division.

In what stage of mitosis does the chromatin coil and condense to form deeply staining bodies?
The chromosomes condense during prophase, the first stage of both mitosis and meiosis.
What is the process by which a cell duplicates chromosomes and splits into two cells?
mitosis
How many homologous chromosomes interact with each other or dont during mitosis and meiosis?
In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1. In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1.
When during mitosis do chromosomes attach to spindle fibers?
During mitosis a double-stranded chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber centromere.
What happens during the process of mitosis?
During the process of mitosis, the nucleus divides!
Chromosomes first become visible during which phase of mitosis?
Chromosomes first become visible during prophase of mitosis when they condense and coil up tightly. This allows them to be easily seen under a microscope as separate structures.
What guide chromosomes during mitosis?
what guides the chromosomes movement during mitosis
In what stage of mitosis does the chromatin coil and condense to form deeply staining bodies?
The chromosomes condense during prophase, the first stage of both mitosis and meiosis.
Why do you need to count chromosomes during mitosis?
It is possible to count chromosomes only during vell division (mitosis or meiosis). This is because when the cell is not dividing the chromosomes are in an uncoiled, extended state and are not visible under the microscope. During cell division the chromosomes coil up, becoming shorter and thicker and so visible. At this time they can be counted.
When during mitosis do chromosomes along the equator?
Mitosis
During which phase does the chromatin condense into chromosomes?
The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase
Chromosomes form during what?
Chromosomes form during Prophase of Mitosis.
What type of chromosomes separate during mitoses?
Both autosomes and sex chromosomes separate during mitosis./ Somatic chromosomes separate during mitosis with same number as in the parent cell.
What type of chromosome is produced during mitosis?
All chromosomes are reproduced during mitosis.
What does chromatin turn into during mitosis?
Chromosomes
When are chromosomes duplicated before or after mitosis?
during
What is the process by which a cell duplicates chromosomes and splits into two cells?
