Sister chromatids
sister chromatids

centromere is place at which spindle fibers are attached if the centromere is lost then chromosome will lose its point for the attachement of the spindle fiber and then will not be able to take part in mitosis. chromosome is usually lost in this case.
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.
* the two exact copies of DNA that make up each chromosome.
each chromosome consists of two identical "sister" chromatids
Sister chromatids are held together at a region of highly condensed DNA called the centromere. The centromere region is very important during the process of cell division where chromosomes have to segregate into daughter cells. In addition, chromosomes are classified into different groups based on the position of the centromere
The two chromatids of a chromosome are attached at a point called the centromere. It is the point which it is attached to a spindle fiber during the process of cell division.
Sister chromatids in a chromosome are attached by a structure called the centromere. The centromere is a region where the two sister chromatids are held together until they separate during cell division.
No, the centromere is not an organized display of an organism's chromosomes. A centromere is the point of the chromosome where it is attached to a spindle during cell division.
They are letated because they are in the same process of cell division.
The protein that fits this description is called CENP-C. It acts as a central structural component in the kinetochore, facilitating the attachment of microtubules to the centromere region of the chromatid during cell division.
A telocentric chromosome is a type of chromosome with the centromere located at one end, resulting in a single chromosomal arm. This structure is commonly found in certain species and can affect the genetic behavior during cell division and meiosis.
centromere
Centromere splitting is something that happens to the Chromosomes during the M Phase (Mitosis) of cell division. During Anaphase (a phase in the M Phase), the centrioles that have sent out spindle fibers and are at opposite poles just tug at the centromere of the Chromosome, causing the centromere to split. Anaphase is basically centromere splitting, where the spindle fibers from the centrioles split the chromosome in half at the centromere.
Chromosomes typically have one centromere, which is a specialized region that holds the sister chromatids together during cell division. The centromere plays a crucial role in ensuring proper segregation of genetic material.
During cell division, each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids joined at the centromere.
Centromere. It is a region on a chromosome where the kinetochore forms, allowing for attachment to spindle fibers during cell division, ensuring proper segregation of chromosomes.
centromere is place at which spindle fibers are attached if the centromere is lost then chromosome will lose its point for the attachement of the spindle fiber and then will not be able to take part in mitosis. chromosome is usually lost in this case.
