Best Answer

Chromosomes are composed of two chromatids. Each chromatid is an exact replica of the other, and for this reason they're called sister chromatids. If the chromosome is an "X", then the left side is one chromatid and the right side is the other. Eventually the centromere will split in the middle of the "X" and the sister chromosomes will move towards the polar ends of the cell via kinetochore fibers.
