Chromosomes at various stages of mitosis.Karyograms are generally made by chromosomes in prometaphase or metaphase. During these phases, the two copies of each chromosome (connected at the centromere) will look as one unless the image resolution is high enough to distinguish the two.
Metaphase (from Ancient Greek μετα- beyond, above, transcending and from Ancient Greek φάσις (phásis) 'appearance') is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage (they are at their most condensed in anaphase). [1]
Chromosome 4 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 4 spans more than 190 million base pairs (the building material of DNA ) and represents between 6 and 6.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .
The following are a few of the diseases that can occur and be present during the process. Polyspermy results from multiple sperm fertilizing an egg, leading to an offset number of chromosomes within the embryo. [35] Polyspermy, while physiologically possible in some species of vertebrates and invertebrates, is a lethal condition for the human ...

During cell division, the identical copies (called a "sister chromatid pair") are joined at the region called the centromere (2). Once the paired sister chromatids have separated from one another (in the anaphase of mitosis ) each is known as a daughter chromosome.
During sexual reproduction, each potato plant inherits two sets of 12 chromosomes from the pollen parent, and two sets of 12 chromosomes from the ovule parent. The four sets combined provide a full complement of 48 chromosomes.
