Meeting this challenging task requires an understanding of the meaning of empathy, the use of diverse educational techniques, and incorporation of students' personal experiences. Acknowledging the role of empathy is easy, but teaching empathy is difficult because empathy is an elusive idea.
The sister chromatids are connected to each other at a point called the centromere. During mitosis, the nuclear envelope dissolves, and sister chromatids separate at the centromere, becoming two individual daughter chromosomes, each now with only one chromatid.
During metaphase of mitosis, chromosomes are held at the metaphase plate by the equal forces of the polar fibers pushing on the centromeres. During anaphase of mitosis, paired centromeres in each distinct chromosome begin to move apart as daughter chromosomes migrate centromere first toward opposite ends of the cell.
