A chromatid is one of the two identical copies of DNA making up a duplicated chromosome, which are joined at their centromeres, for the process of cell division (mitosis or meiosis). They are called sister chromatids so long as they are joined by the centromeres.
chromotid
A good analogy for sister chromatids is like a pair of identical twins, where each twin carries the same genetic information. Just like how twins are born from the same fertilized egg, sister chromatids are formed during DNA replication as exact copies of each other.
In meiosis I, segregation of chromosomes...that is, separating off into pairs, allows for crossing over to occur. Crossing over is one mechanism responsible for gene recombination to occur, and genetic recombination is one way that variations in traits increase.
I think the chromotin(noun) is one of the pair of genes that combine to form a chromotid, which is the basis of a base pair.. field is in genetics, reproduction... I think nucleosis(verb) is the process of cell nucleus division. I am currently taking a class on this subject so i may be mixed up.. im answering from memory, and ive crammed a lot of info lately so i may be off the mark, but i think thats the right answer..
Chromosomes are double in meiosis. They replicate during interphase before entering the meiotic stages (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase) in order to separate into single chromosomes during cell division.
