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.
It depends on if it was during the process of mitosis or mitosis. And, how many chromosomes it began with.
A single crossover of homologous chromosomes results in two chromatids that have recombined genetic material from both parents. This means that two of the chromatids will have segments from one homologous chromosome, while the other two will retain the original segments from the other homolog. Therefore, the set of chromatids illustrating this result will show two chromatids with new combinations of alleles and two chromatids with the parental combinations.

Homologous chromosomes is a pair made of a paternal and maternal chromosomes. But sister chromatid is either pairs of paternal or maternal chromosomes
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.
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.
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.
Homologous chromosomes are individual chromosomes inherited from each parent. Sister chromatids are the result of DNA replication, and the are identical.
It depends on if it was during the process of mitosis or mitosis. And, how many chromosomes it began with.
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.
Somatic cell chromosome is made of two identical chromatids
Tetrads are formed of 2 homologous chromosomes, which are crossing over so there is a total of 4 chromatids. :D
