Chromosomes split in order to reproduce.
Chromosomes split during cell division (mitosis or meiosis) to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes. This process, called chromosome segregation, allows genetic information to be accurately replicated and transmitted to the next generation of cells.
During Anaphase

Because in the events of Meiosis the chromosomes split and then the sex cell only has half the number of chromosomes. Once the sperm & egg unite (fertilization) then the chromosomes pair up, and you get all 46 chromosomes.
The same amount as before it began. It split in two and had half the chromosomes then it join with another split cell and regained the number. (The actual amount can vary between species)
split in half
During Anaphase
Chromosomes will line up in metaphase and in anaphase they will split apart.
During early anaphase of mitosis the centromeres of chromosomes split to allow the sister chromosomes to move to the opposite side of the spindle.
I belive that they split apart!
The split chromosomes during mitosis WOW!
Anaphase is the stage of mitosis when chromosomes split apart.
A normal cell has 46 chromosomes so when they split the chromosomes divide as well. So it's 46/2 which is 23. A daughter cell has 23 chromosomes. (: I juss learned that in Biology this yearr.

This is because, the egg splits and there chromosomes split
