This process results in "Genetic Diversity". [Short Answer]
The chromatin in the cell becomes chromosomes in prophase, the first stage of mitosis. The chromatin coils tightly together to form into separate chromosome strands during this phase.
Yes, in both mitosis and meiosis, the individual chromosomes move apart during cell division. In mitosis, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move to opposite poles of the cell, while in meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate in the first division and sister chromatids separate in the second division.
No. In mitosis the chromosomes separate once. In meiosis, in anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate, but are still attached as sister chromatids. In anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate. So there are two chromosome separations in meiosis.
After the centromeres divide and the sister chromatids separate during mitosis, each chromatid is referred to as a daughter chromosome. At this stage, the daughter chromosomes are distinct and no longer considered sister chromatids, as they are now individual chromosomes that will move to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase.
The arrangement of microtubules that become visible during mitosis and separate the chromosomes into equal groups is called the mitotic spindle. It forms during prophase and plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate chromosome segregation during cell division.

All chromosomes are reproduced during mitosis.
The chromosome number is halved during cell division in meiosis, not mitosis.
The spindle apparatus, made up of microtubules, plays a key role in chromosome separation and movement during mitosis. The centrosomes help organize and control the spindle apparatus. The kinetochores, located at the centromere of each chromosome, attach to the microtubules and facilitate chromosome movement.
Yes, sister chromatids separate during mitosis.

Anaphase is the phase of mitosis where sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell. This marks the transition from the duplicated chromosome state to individual chromosomes.
During meiosis, the chromosome number is halved through two rounds of cell division. In the first round, called meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, reducing the chromosome number by half. In the second round, called meiosis II, sister chromatids separate, resulting in the final halved chromosome number.
Both autosomes and sex chromosomes separate during mitosis./ Somatic chromosomes separate during mitosis with same number as in the parent cell.
Chromosomes separate into homologous pairs during mitosis to ensure that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic information, with one copy of each chromosome from each parent. This process helps maintain genetic diversity and ensures proper cell division.
Chromatids in eukaryotic cells separate during the process of mitosis or meiosis. In mitosis, chromatids separate during anaphase to form individual chromosomes, while in meiosis, chromatids separate during anaphase II to produce haploid daughter cells.
