In late anaphase and G1 of interphase, a chromosome is unreplicated and consists of a single DNA double helix.
A replicated chromosome contains two identical DNA double helices.
Chromosome Nucleosome
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
The original cell that undergoes meiosis holds the original copy of DNA. The daughter cells receive the replicated DNA strands.
Chromosomes usually occur in pairs in body cells. One chromosome in the pair comes from one parent and the other chromosome comes from the other parent. The two chromosomes are the same size and shape and carry the same genes in the same positions. They are called homologous chromosomes. When cells divide the chromosomes first have to copy themselves (ie replicate). Each homologous chromosome makes a replica of itself, and the original and replica are attached to each other at a region called the centromere.
If the DNA molecule is undergoing transcription, then mRNA nucleotides will be forming along the anti-sense strand of DNA. If the DNA molecule is undergoing replication, new DNA nucleotides will be forming along both original strands of DNA.
The region of a chromosome holding the two double strands of replicated DNA together is called a centromere. The complex of DNA and protein that makes up eukaryotic chromosome is properly called chromatin.
A chromatid is one-half of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome. During cell division, the identical copies are joined together at the region of the chromosome called the centromere. They are known as sister chromatids. Once the paired sister chromatids separate from one another in anaphase of mitosis, each is known as a daughter chromosome.

in Patau there is an extra chromosome in chromosome 13, in Edwars it the extra chromosome is in chromosome 18

the autosome do not control the sex organs . but the sex chromosome control the sex organs
The genetic difference between men and women comes down to the X and Y chromosome
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
Sister chromatids are those replicated from the same chromosome whereas non-sister chromatids may be found in meiosis (particularly metaphase II) where paternal and maternal chromatids line up and eventually separate at the metaphase plate.
An autosome is any of the 23 chromosomes which is not an X or Y chromosome. A sex chromosome is effectively the same as an autosome, apart from depending upon whether you inherit a Y chromosome or not, a sex chromosome will determine your gender. Hence the name.
