During mitosis, separation of the sister chromatids ensures that each daughter cell will receive two copies of each type of chromosome.
Sister Chromatids
Identical copies of a chromosome that are connected by a centromere and eventually separated during cell division.
Mitosis
A process of cell division in eukaryotic cells that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell, ensuring the maintenance of the chromosome number across generations.
