The chromosomes are called twin chromosomes after duplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • During mitosis, the first process is the separation of homologous pair of sister chromatids and moving apart to opposite poles.
  • secondly, it is duplicated into two homologous pairs.
  • The homologous pairs or the duplicated copy is being attached to each other by a centromere.
  • These are called twin chromosomes.
  • After duplication, the chromosomes divide again before cell membrane formation.
