Normally in a cell, there are 92 chromatids, 2 per chromosome. However, when the chromosomes have duplicated before mitosis, there are twice as many, or 184.

What condenses into an X shape before mitosis?

Chromosomes condense into an X shape before mitosis. During prophase, the chromatin in the nucleus begins to condense and coil, forming distinct X-shaped structures known as chromosomes. This condensation allows the chromosomes to be easily moved and segregated during cell division.


The two copies of DNA on each chromosome that form just before cell division?

Chromatids


Before cell division begins each chromosomes consists of two identical joined chromosomes called?

Before cell division begins, each chromosome consists of two identical joined chromatids called sister chromatids. Each sister chromatid contains an identical copy of the chromosome's DNA molecule.


What contains uncondensed chromosomes that have been duplicated?

The nucleus of a cell contains uncondensed chromosomes that have been duplicated. During the interphase of the cell cycle, before cell division, the chromosomes replicate and form sister chromatids that are still uncondensed and spread throughout the nucleus.


What are the two copies of DNA on each chromosome that form just before cell division?

The two copies of DNA on each chromosome that form just before cell division are called sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are identical copies of the original chromosome that are created during DNA replication in the S phase of the cell cycle. They are held together by a structure called the centromere.


Which term describes two recently replicated DNA strands that are joined together just before cell division?

The term that describes two recently replicated DNA strands that are joined together just before cell division is "sister chromatids." Each sister chromatid is an identical copy of the original DNA molecule and is held together at a region called the centromere. During cell division, the sister chromatids separate and are distributed to the daughter cells.


What is the relationship between chromosomes and chromatids?

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.


What has to happen before a cell divides?

It will go through mitosis and interphase. During interphase the cell grows, replicates DNA and prepares for cell division. then during mitosis it has to through four stages. prophase,metaphase,anphase,and telophase. During these four stages chromosomes duplicate, nucleus begins to divide, chromatids attach to the spindle fibers, chromatids separate and begin to move opposite ends of the cell, two nucei form, and finally the cell membrane moves inward to create two identical cells-each with it's own nucleus with identical chromosomes.


How many chromatids are found in each daughter cell?

It depends on the type of cell. In ordinary somatic (body) cells it is the same as the parent cell. In sex cells it is half the number. Many animals and plants have numbers of chromosomes that are different from human cells numbers.


During sister chromatids are lined up along the metaphase plate.?

At the center! Sister chromatids are identical copies of a given chromosome. before the cell divides it must first copy the entire genome. sister chromatids are shaped like > and < and are linked at the centromere. The tips are called telomeres.


Are the two sister chromatids that are connected by a centromere identical to one another?

Two sister chromatids that are connected by a centromere are identical to one another. They are duplicate copies of a chromatin.


During which phase of the cell cycle do chromatids form?

When a single chromosome is replicated, two sister chromatids are produced. After cell division, each of the chromatids is a chromosome for the daughter cell.
