Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The process by which sister chromatids are organized and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of chromosome segregation, the process by which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is organized and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of chromosome segregation, the process by which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is organized and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of chromosome segregation, the process by which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is organized and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. The process by which genetic material of the mitochondrion, in the form of the mitochondrial chromosome, is organized and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. The cell cycle process whereby paired chromosomes are detached from each other. In budding yeast, this includes the cleavage of cohesin complexes along the chromosome arms, followed by the separation of the centromeric regions. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. The process by which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is organized into specific structures and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. The directed movement of chromosomes in the center of the spindle towards the spindle poles, mediated by the shortening of microtubules attached to the chromosomes. The process by which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is organized into specific structures and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets during M phase of the meiotic cell cycle. The cell cycle process by which the sister chromatids of a replicated chromosome are joined along the entire length of the chromosome. The process by which spindle microtubules become physically associated with a chromosome. The alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate, a plane halfway between the poles of the spindle.
