compmage: the chromosome "splitting" (which is kind of a misnomer) takes place during the creation of the gametes - before fertilization. Here's a link to a pretty good, and relatively easy to understand, explanation. IOW, you don't have to worry about lining up base pairs - what gets separated are the two pairs of chromosomes. The chromatids aren't actually cut up. (See also "crossing over").

Glad we could help. It is hard to remember all the details after a long time. (Don't even ask me to define a differential equation, fr'instance.
