Fig. 2.22 Chromosome structure. Chromosome structure during mitosis. Each side has a complete copy of the chromosome’s genes. The two sides separate at the centromere during mitosis, and each new cell receives a side. (a) The DNA in one telomere region is shown uncoiled, as it might exist outside of mitosis. (b) Chromosome with telomeres highlighted. (See image source below. Used with permission.)
