Replicated chromosomes have undergone DNA replication, producing two identical sister chromatids joined by a centromere. Unreplicated chromosomes have not undergone DNA replication and consist of a single chromatid. Replicated chromosomes are found during the S phase of the cell cycle, while unreplicated chromosomes are present in the G1 phase.
Meiosis 1 involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, resulting in two haploid daughter cells with replicated chromosomes. Meiosis 2 involves the separation of sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with unreplicated chromosomes.
Autosomes are any chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes, while chromosomes are the structures in a cell that contain genetic material. Sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex, while autosomes contain genes that determine other traits.
prokaryotes have circular chromosomes while eukaryotes have linear chromosomes.
Chromosomes are formed from condensed chromatin as a cell divides during mitosis. Chromosomes are the structures that contain the genetic material (DNA) and are replicated and divided equally between the daughter cells to ensure proper genetic inheritance.
This is speaking in terms of MITOSIS.A typical human cell has 46 chromosomes. Each offspring cell receives anidentical copy of the original cell's chromosomes. So the two daughter cells will have 46 chromosomes each as well.
In late anaphase and G1 of interphase, a chromosome is unreplicated and consists of a single DNA double helix. A replicated chromosome contains two identical DNA double helices.
Meiosis 1 involves the separation of homologous chromosomes, resulting in two haploid daughter cells with replicated chromosomes. Meiosis 2 involves the separation of sister chromatids, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with unreplicated chromosomes.
Do you mean what is the difference between DNA w/in chromosomes and DNA that is not? the DNA in chromosomes is tightly bound up (to histones) and therefore can not be accessed to be transcribed or replicated. Also this DNA may be methylated, or otherwise made inaccessible to enzymes that might act on it
At the beginning of telophase I, each half of the cell has a complete haploid set of chromosomes, but each chromosome is still composed of two sister chromatids. Cytokinesis usually occurs simultaneously with telophase I, forming two haploid daughter cells. No chromosome replication occurs between the end of meiosis I and the beginning of meiosis II, as the chromosomes are already replicated. In telophase II, the nuclei form and the chromosomes begin decondensing. The meiotic division of one parent cell produces four daughter cells, each with a haploid set of (unreplicated) chromosomes
Autosomes are any chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes, while chromosomes are the structures in a cell that contain genetic material. Sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex, while autosomes contain genes that determine other traits.
Chromosome Nucleosome
prokaryotes have circular chromosomes while eukaryotes have linear chromosomes.
The number of chromosomes in daughter cells formed by the first division is the same as the parent cell, typically 46 chromosomes in humans. This is because during the first division, chromosomes are replicated and then distributed equally between the daughter cells.
Chromosomes usually occur in pairs in body cells. One chromosome in the pair comes from one parent and the other chromosome comes from the other parent. The two chromosomes are the same size and shape and carry the same genes in the same positions. They are called homologous chromosomes. When cells divide the chromosomes first have to copy themselves (ie replicate). Each homologous chromosome makes a replica of itself, and the original and replica are attached to each other at a region called the centromere.
In S Phase, DNA replication occurs and it is still an unknown mass like a plate of spaghetti, but during Prophase, the DNA Condenses to chromosomes around a centrally located chromatid. (a little disk in the middle of the X)
Homologous chromosomes are individual chromosomes inherited from each parent. Sister chromatids are the result of DNA replication, and the are identical.
Chromosomes replicate during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs in between cell divisions. This process ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material during cell division.
