The two groups of chromosomes that are starting to form are undergoing a process called chromosomal segregation during cell division. As the cell prepares to divide, the chromosomes, which have already replicated, condense and align at the cell's equatorial plane. Subsequently, spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes, pulling the sister chromatids apart toward opposite poles of the cell, ensuring that each new daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes. This process is crucial for maintaining genetic stability in the daughter cells.
