Idenical copies of a chromosome
Anaphase
Sister Chromotids
I think that sister chromatids probably look more like each other because, well, they are sisters. I look like my sisters.
the machinary required to sperate the sister chromotids (each set of DNA) is outside the nucleus, and therefore requires access to the DNA. also the nucleus is quite small, so allowing the DNA access to the rest of the cell allows for more separation (i.e. a greater distance between the two sister chromotids can be acheived).
Can't reproduce unless exactly half. (Offspring will be genetically deformed.)
Chromosomes are roughly made up of proteins and DNA
At the end of telophase I and cytokinesis, there are two haploid cells with chromosomes that consist of two sister chromatids each
Anaphase.
Centromere
The centrometre
In a chromosome pair, a single chromosome is called a chromatid and the two chromotids in the pair are commonly called "sister chromatids."
