Final answer:
In mitosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair with each other but line up end-to-end ensuring each daughter cell receives one sister chromatid from the homologous pair.
Step-by-step explanation:
During mitosis, homologous replicated chromosomes do not pair with one another. Instead, in mitosis, the homologous chromosomes line up end-to-end so that when the cell divides, each daughter cell receives one sister chromatid from both members of each homologous pair.
The replicated chromosomes, now called sister chromatids, are held together at the centromere by cohesin proteins until they are separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase.
The process of pairing homologous chromosomes, called synapsis, along with crossing over, occurs during meiosis prophase I, but it does not take place in mitosis.
