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.

When do chromosomes split polars?

Chromosomes split into two poles during the anaphase stage of mitosis. This separation ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.

How many pairs of chromosomes are found in a Split Pea cell?

Normal egg cells are haploid and a haploid cell can`t have pair of chromosomes.Pair of chromosomes actually means homologous pairs of chromosomes which are not present in eggs. Human egg contains 23 unpaired chromosomes and Drosophila egg contain 4 unpaired chromosomes which can`t be called 2 pairs as they are not homologous. Some abnormal eggs eg of parthenogenetic animals may possess paired chromosomes.


How many chromosomes do daughter cells have'?

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.


When chromosomes divides by mitosis does it stay the same or spilt in half?

During mitosis, chromosomes replicate and then split in half, with each daughter cell receiving a full set of chromosomes. This ensures that each cell produced has the same genetic information as the original cell.


Stage of mitosis where chromosomes split apart?

Anaphase is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes split apart. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers. This separation ensures that each resulting daughter cell receives a full set of chromosomes.


Do identical twin have the same genotype?

This is because, the egg splits and there chromosomes split


Will mitosis create a mosquito cell with 6 chromosomes?

Yes, mosquitos have six cells in their chromosomes. So, at the end of mitosis, the cell will have six chromosomes. To begin with, the cell will split so there are three chromosomes in each gamete.
