Chromosomes are the condensed and replicated form of DNA. The two identical halves of the chromosomes are known as sister chromatids. Before division, while the chromatids are still attached, they form one chromosome. However, when anaphase (i.e the stage when chromosomes split) starts and they are separated, the two chromatids on the opposite poles of the cell become complete chromosomes.
Two sets of sister chromatids .
Bacterial chromosomes
The chromatids detach from one another and become visibly separate chromosomes during anaphase. Chromatids that are attached at the centromere are called sister kind of chromatids.
The chromosomes split equally and move to the opposite sides of the cell.
Sister chromatids are replicated DNA and are identical. Homologous chromosomes are not, as one comes from the mother and the other comes from the father.
Homologous chromosomes are individual chromosomes inherited from each parent. Sister chromatids are the result of DNA replication, and the are identical.
I am assuming you know both chromosomes and chromatin are basically made up of DNA and proteins. They both reside in the nucleus of a cell. The chromosomes are not visible and neither are the chromatin. When mitosis occurs and the cell divides the chromosomes coil up and become chromatids (different again). These chromatids are the only one out of these three that is visible. To answer your question basically the relationship between chromosomes and chromatin can be summarised by the following sentence. <Chromosomes are made up of two chromatin joined together by a centreomere.> hope this helps :)
Chromatids condense into an X shape before mitosis. Chromatids are identical strands of chromosomes. After duplication there are 12 chromatids that are in 3 pair of homologous chromosomes.
Sister chromatids are identical while homologous chromosomes are merely similar.They are different because they separate the cells and then they become babies but only the homologous chromosomes do.

Homologous chromosomes is a pair made of a paternal and maternal chromosomes. But sister chromatid is either pairs of paternal or maternal chromosomes
