Why Are Only Two Chromosomes Shown in Mitosis Diagrams?

AI Thread Summary
Human cells contain 46 chromosomes, but diagrams illustrating mitosis often depict only two chromosomes. This simplification is primarily for clarity and ease of understanding, as showing all 46 would either clutter the diagram or reduce the visibility of important details. The focus is on demonstrating the process of mitosis using a representative example, rather than providing a comprehensive view of all chromosomes involved.

I don't know why I can't think of an answer to this, but it should be simple.

Every human cell contains 46 chromosomes, right? Well why do they only show 2 chromosomes in the diagrams you see that depict mitosis?

I don't know anything at all about mitosis, or chromosomes for that matter, but sounds to me like it's just easier to show you one 'example' pair of chromosomes than to do all 46 of them. They probably wouldn't all fit in the diagram, or if they did they'd be so small you wouldn't be able to see the details, which is presumably the whole point of the diagram.
