In eukaryotes, throughout the entire life of the Cell, also called the cell cycle. During Mitosis the chromosomes are separated.
metaphase and prophase
Metaphase
Pairs of chromosomes are not attached. Before mitosis chromosomes replicate themselves, these twin identical chromosomes are attached at the centromere. before cell division the cell has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) but has 2 copies of each individual chromosome called chromatids,(making a total of 92 chromosones, 46 for each daughter cell) which are joined at the centromere giving the characteristic X shape. Pairs are not joined, chromatids are.
four two in each chromosome
All tetrads contain four chromatids. Each "leg" is one chromatid.2Tetrad = 2 homologous chromosomes1 homologous chromosome has 2 chromatids joined together by a centromere.That means that there are four chromatids in a tetrad
There are 46 chromosomes in each body cell, and there are 2 chromatids per chromosome, therefore there are 92 chromatids in each body cell.
Assuming it is not in the anaphase stage then the chromosomes had 22 sister chromatids. 1 chromosome has 2 sister chromatids.
Chromatids
Two (2). Before DNA replication, each chromosome is composed of a single chromatid. After replication, but before separation of the chromatids during anaphase, this is true.
Chromosome need 2 chromatids but a chromatid is only half of a chromosome
chromosomes are made of 2 chromatids

A human body cell has 46 chromosomes. Before mitosis, the DNA/chromosomes replicate, resulting in 92 chromosomes which will be divided into two genetically identical daughter cells during mitosis.
Chromosomes come in 2 forms, depending on the stage of the cell cycle. The monad form consists of a single chromatid, a single piece of DNA containing a centromere and telomeres at the ends. The dyad form consists of 2 identical chromatids (sister chromatids) attached together at the centromere. Chromosomes are in the dyad form before mitosis, and in the monad form after mitosis. The dyad form is the result of DNA replication: a single piece of DNA (the monad chromosome) replicated to form 2 identical DNA molecules (the 2 chromatids of the dyad chromosome). a tetrad is a pair of homologous chromosomes that have replicated and come together in prophase I of meiosis; and consists of four chromatids.

The centromeres of each chromosome finally separate, and the sister chromatids come apart. The sister chromatids of each chromosome now move as two individual chromosomes toward opposite poles.
they're identical because they are the product of replication.
