Chromosomes are composed of two chromatids. Each chromatid is an exact replica of the other, and for this reason they're called sister chromatids. If the chromosome is an "X", then the left side is one chromatid and the right side is the other. Eventually the centromere will split in the middle of the "X" and the sister chromosomes will move towards the polar ends of the cell via kinetochore fibers.

How many sister chromatids are there in a duplicated chromosomes?

There are two sister chromatids in a duplicated chromosome. Each sister chromatid is an identical copy resulting from DNA replication during the S phase of the cell cycle.


Are the genes on a recombinant chromatid the same as the original chromatid?

No, the genes on a recombinant chromatid are a combination of genes from the original chromatids. During crossing over in meiosis, genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a new combination of genes on the recombinant chromatid.

A cell containing 92 chromatids at metaphase of mitosis at its completion how many chromosomes will be made?

At metaphase of mitosis, chromosomes are duplicated, so each chromatid will become a full chromosome. Therefore, with 92 chromatids, you will end up with 92 chromosomes after the completion of mitosis.
