Description
During the metaphase period of mitosis (cell division), the duplicated chromosomes (sister chromatids) in the nucleus align along the equator of the cell (the metaphase plate). Fibers attached to the sister chromatids pull them apart before the formation of two new nuclei.
This abstract image is not meant to be a fully accurate representation of the metaphase period; it is simply my attempt to portray the forces on the sister chromatids that will eventually pull them apart. It is just an abstract portrayal of a small part of a greater miracle.
