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.
Interphase is followed by meiosis I and then meiosis II. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, each still made up of two sister chromatids, into two daughter cells, thus reducing the chromosome number by half. During meiosis II, sister chromatids decouple and the resultant daughter chromosomes are segregated into four daughter cells. For diploid organisms, the daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and contain only one copy of each chromosome.
