There are two chromatids for each chromosome before the S-phase. The S-phase is wherein DNA of each chromosome is replicated.
Yes it is a phase of mitosis. It the the phase in thich the chromosomes duplicate. As a result each chromosome ha 2 sister chromatids
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.

Chromatids
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.
A centromere and sister chromatids.
each chromosome consists of two identical "sister" chromatids
The centromeres of each chromosome finally separate, and the sister chromatids come apart. The sister chromatids of each chromosome now move as two individual chromosomes toward opposite poles.
During prophase, a chromosome is composed of tightly coiled DNA and protein molecules. Each chromosome exists as a pair of identical sister chromatids which are held together at the centromere.
Centromere
Microtubules pull the chromatids from the chromosome apart. Each former sister c
