Normally a cells chromosomes are single strands - a bit like a pice of string. Just prior to cell division, a chromosome replicates (=makes another copy of itself) and these two copies are joined together at a point called the centromere. Each copy is now called a chromatid and being joined at the centromere make the familiar "X" shape, with each copy (chromatid) forming a side of the X and will have exactly the same sequence of genes down its length as the other chromatid (they are copies!). In cell division the copies (chromatids) will be pulled apart (X becomes > <) to become chromosomes in their own right.
The only relationship is the 'chrom', meaning 'color'
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
Chromosomes are the form of DNA during mitosis.
Heredity
There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.

probably a mispelling of chromatids

Chromosomes are in DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)
Chromosomes are complete molecules of DNA and its attached proteins. A chromosome carries part or all of an organisms genes.
There are thousands of genes in a chromosome.
