During mitosis, each chromatid of a duplicated chromosome becomes attached to the microtubule of one of the mitotic spindles. At anaphase, mitotic spindles pull the chromatids toward the poles of the cell, therefore forming two identical chromosomal sets at each pole.

How does the process of mitosis faithfully parcel out exact copies of this heritable information in the production of genetically identical daughter cells? During mitosis, each chromosome becomes attached to the centromere. At anaphase, centromeres drag random chromatids toward the poles of the cell, where they become duplicated. As a result, two identical chromosomal sets form at each pole. During mitosis, each chromatid of a duplicated chromosome becomes attached to the microtubule of one of the mitotic spindles. At anaphase, mitotic spindles pull the chromatids toward the poles of the cell, therefore forming two identical chromosomal sets at each pole.
