During metaphase they line up along the cell's equatorial plane as pairs of sister chromatids, and during anaphase the sister chromatids separate (now called chromosomes) and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell.
Meiosis causes the chromosomes to separate and reduce their number in half during cell division.
The term for when chromosomes fail to separate during cell division is called nondisjunction.
During prophase of cell division, the nucleus condenses and the chromatin (DNA and proteins) inside it becomes tightly coiled into chromosomes. The nuclear membrane also breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to become more visible and ready for division.
The chromosomes number is halved during cell division through meiosis, not mitosis.
Chromosomes are slender threads inside a cell's nucleus that carry genes. They contain DNA, which holds the genetic information that determines an organism's traits. Chromosomes condense and become visible during cell division.

The chromosomes are located inside the nucleus of a eukaryote.

Chromosomes replicate during cell division, so are present as a new cell forms.

Chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers during the metaphase phase of the cell division process.
during cell reproduction the "mother cell" makes a copy of chromosomes and then divides them evenly between two "daughter cells" so the chromosome pairs line up in the center of that division.
Yes, chromatin is condensed during cell division to form distinct chromosomes.
