Yes they are attached at the centromere and remain identicle until crossing over occurs in prophase 1 of meosis
Chromatids condense into an X shape before mitosis. Chromatids are identical strands of chromosomes. After duplication there are 12 chromatids that are in 3 pair of homologous chromosomes.
sister chromatids (after DNA replication, but before dividing)
Two (2). Before DNA replication, each chromosome is composed of a single chromatid. After replication, but before separation of the chromatids during anaphase, this is true.

There are two chromatids for each chromosome before the S-phase. The S-phase is wherein DNA of each chromosome is replicated.
Two (2). Before DNA replication, each chromosome is composed of a single chromatid. After replication, but before separation of the chromatids during anaphase, this is true.
In prophase 1 crossing over causes chromosome segments to exchange and leads to new combinations of genes
Normally in a cell, there are 92 chromatids, 2 per chromosome. However, when the chromosomes have duplicated before mitosis, there are twice as many, or 184.
Compare.
Pairs of chromosomes are not attached. Before mitosis chromosomes replicate themselves, these twin identical chromosomes are attached at the centromere. before cell division the cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) but has 2 copies of each individual chromosome called chromatids,(making a total of 92 chromosones, 46 for each daughter cell) which are joined at the centromere giving the characteristic X shape. Pairs are not joined, chromatids are.
Chromosomes are the condensed and replicated form of DNA. The two identical halves of the chromosomes are known as sister chromatids. Before division, while the chromatids are still attached, they form one chromosome. However, when anaphase (i.e the stage when chromosomes split) starts and they are separated, the two chromatids on the opposite poles of the cell become complete chromosomes.
