Is chromosome Y an acrocentric chromosome?
A chromosome is determined to be metacentric, acrocentric or telocentric by the location of its centromere. Centromeres are the point of attachment of two sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are formed during DNA replication prior to mitosis or meiosis. Chromosome Y by itself (when it is not replicating and there are no sister chromatids) is not acrocentric, as it wouldn't even have a centromere location.
What is the name of the structure that connects the sister chromatids?
The cell structure that joins two sister chromatids into one single chromosome is called the centromere. This is at the center of the sister chromatids.
Is the attachment point of two sisters chromatids?
Chiasmata, coz they didnt say two chromatids (most probably)
What is the next step after chromosome duplication?
is it two chromatids or spindles
What structure is formed by two sister chromatids being held together by a centromere?
A bivalent.Sister chromatids are normally joined at the centromere. When homologous chromosomes pair, the two sister chromatids of one chromosome join with the two sister chromatids of the other chromosome. So it is really the joining of non-sister chromatids that is special.The word "bivalent" refers to the temporary combining of the two chromosomes (four chromatids). The bivalent forms in prophase I of meiosis, and is split in anaphase I.
The region of the chromosome that holds the two sister chromatids together during mitosis?
Centromere
What is the region of a chromosome where two sister chromatids attach?
The two identical chromosomes are conjoined at the centromere.

What is a cell structure that joins two sister chromatids of a chromosomes?
The cell structure that joins two sister chromatids into one single chromosome is called the centromere. This is at the center of the sister chromatids.
What is the point of attachment between two chromatids?
The point of attatchment between two chromatids is called the centromere. When two chromatids are connected, it is called a chromosome which is essential in DNA replication, or, mitosis.
When a double helix DNA is replicated two complete helices are formed together these helices are called sister?
Sister chromatids - two copies of the same DNA joined at the centromere.
What two identical bodies make up a duplicated chromosome?
Somatic cell chromosome is made of two identical chromatids
Is the attachment point of two sisters chromatids?
Chiasmata, coz they didnt say two chromatids (most probably)
Why does a chromosome has two sister chromatids?
because it can
What is a tetrad?
Two sets of sister chromatids .
What is the next step after chromosome duplication?
is it two chromatids or spindles
