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.

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 do sister chromatids differ from homolohous chromosomes?

Sister chromatids are exact copies of each other produced during DNA replication in a cell, connected at the centromere. Homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes that carry the same genes in the same location, but may have different alleles. Sister chromatids are produced in preparation for cell division, while homologous chromosomes are inherited from each parent.


What two identical bodies make up a duplicated chromosome?

Somatic cell chromosome is made of two identical chromatids


Are sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes more similar?

Sister chromatids are more similar to each other because they are exact copies of each other formed during DNA replication. Homologous chromosomes, on the other hand, are pairs of chromosomes that contain genes for the same traits, but may have different versions of those genes.


When does synapsi occur?

when two of homologous chromosomes form a tetrad sister chromatids and crossover


What is the difference between a chromatid and a sister chromatid?

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


What is the product crossing over?

Crossing over results in nonidentical sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.


What is the composition of a bivalent at the beginning of prophase 1?

A bivalent at the beginning of prophase I is composed of two homologous chromosomes that have already replicated into sister chromatids. Each homologous chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined by a centromere. The bivalent forms as the homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo synapsis.


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.


What division of meiosis splits chromosomes?

In anaphase I of meiosis, the homologous pairs of chromosomes separate. Due to DNA replication and crossing over during prophase I, these chromosomes consist of a pair of non-identical sister chromatids. During anaphase II of meiosis, the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes.


What happens to DNA in anaphase?

The homologous chromosomes (as pairs of sister chromatids) separate to opposite poles of the cell.
