Chromosome segregation
Sister chromatids, identical chromatids joined by a centromere, can be formed during DNA replication of when homologous chromosomes are paired. In nucleated cells (eukaryotes), chromosome segregation is a biological process occurring in mitosis and meiosis where two sister chromatids separate. Following separation, the individual chromatids travel to opposite sides of the nucleus.
