PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During mitosis, replicated sister chromatids attach to the mitotic spindle to facilitate their equal partitioning into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each sister chromatid attaches to spindle microtubules at the centromere via a protein complex called the kinetochore. During metaphase, all of the chromosomes are aligned in a plane called the metaphase plate, or the equatorial plane, midway between the two poles of the cell.
