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.

Difference between sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes?

Homologous chromosomes are individual chromosomes inherited from each parent. Sister chromatids are the result of DNA replication, and the are identical.


How many chromatids do you have when you duplicate your 46 chromosomes?

When you duplicate your 46 chromosomes, you will have 92 chromatids.


What is a relationship of chromosomes to chromatin?

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 :)


What is the difference between recombinant and parental chromatids and how do they arise?

Recombinant chromatids have undergone genetic recombination, resulting in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. This process can occur during meiosis. Parental chromatids, on the other hand, have not undergone genetic recombination and contain the original combination of alleles from the parent chromosomes.


How many chromatids are present in a cell with 6 chromosomes, each consisting of 2 chromatids?

In a cell with 6 chromosomes, each consisting of 2 chromatids, there are a total of 12 chromatids present.


How many chromatids does your cell have after your 46 chromosomes are duplicated?

After your 46 chromosomes are duplicated, your cell will have a total of 92 chromatids.


How do sister chromatids differ from 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.


What are paired chromosomes?

Sister chromatids.

How many chromosomes and chromatids are present in each stage of mitosis?

During mitosis, each cell has 46 chromosomes and 92 chromatids.


When do sister chromatids cross over?

Sister chromatids do not cross over. Cross over occurs between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I, where genetic material is exchanged between non-sister chromatids, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.


A tetrad includes which of the following sets of DNA strands?

A tetrad consists of two homologous chromosomes, each composed of two sister chromatids. This results in a total of four chromatids aligned during meiosis, allowing for genetic recombination between the homologous chromosomes.
