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.
Although mitosis is the process by which cell division occurs, many events need to take place prior to the physical separation of a mother cell into two daughter cells. Mitosis is a highly orchestrated process, with many checkpoints that insure events occur in the proper sequence. However, cells only divide at certain times and in specific situations.
