Chromosomes (sister chromatids) are found in pairs and move towards opposite ends of the cell during cell division, a process known as mitosis. This ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic information.
Homologous chromosomes segregate towards opposite poles of a dividing cell during the anaphase stage of mitosis.
The homologous chromosomes (as pairs of sister chromatids) separate to opposite poles of the cell.
The movement of individual chromosomes towards opposite sides of the cell occurs during the anaphase stage of mitosis. In this stage, the sister chromatids are pulled apart towards the poles of the cell by the spindle fibers, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
In a human cell it would be 23 pairs.
there is 4 pairs of chromosomes in each cell for a fly!
