When you were looking at the different stages of mitosis, why were the chromosomes in so many different positions, rather than in one distinct position?

In mitosis cell division, the chromosomes in so many different positions rather than in one distinct position because the cell is going to divide.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a single cell is divided into two daughter cells having double number of chromosomes or same chromosomes as that of parent cell. In mitosis, chromosomes changes their place because the cell is divided at the center and we know that chromosomes are present in the centre. For equal distribution of chromosome among daughter cell they move from the centre and reaches to the poles and the cell is divided into two daughter cells. Both daughter cells have chromosomes.
