One half of a duplicated chromosome?

A duplicated chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids joined at the centromere. Therefore, one half of a duplicated chromosome refers to one of these sister chromatids, which contains a copy of the genetic material from the original chromosome.


There are 4 chromatids in a?

A chromatid is one half of a duplicated chromosome, so typically there are 2 chromatids in a chromosome.


What does each member of the chromosome pair come from?

Each member of a chromosome pair comes from one parent; one chromosome is inherited from the mother and the other from the father. This means that for each chromosome in a pair, one is maternal and the other is paternal. These chromosomes carry genes that determine various traits and characteristics of an organism. In humans, for instance, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46, with half coming from each parent.


When the dna results come in will there be something on the dna test about the y chromsome This is a paternity test of a child.?

The Y chromosome will be included in the DNA test that determines paternity, because as we all know, half of our DNA comes from the mother and the other half from the father, which makes up the full genetic profile of the child with both x and y chromosome pairings.


Why do some sperm cells have an x chromosome while other sperm cells have a y chromosome?

Chromosomes in adult cells come in pairs. Men's cells have an X Y pair of chromosome in them, women's have two X chromosomes and no Y. When sperm cells are made in the man the sperm get half of each pair of chromosomes and thus half will have the X and half the Y. When a woman makes an egg cell, these to get half her XX pair but all eggs will have an X chromosome. When a baby is made the egg and the sperm join up to give the fertilized egg matched pairs of chromosomes again. As half the sperm carry an X and half a Y, there is a 50% chance that the new egg will be XX (female) or XY (male) and this ensures that there is the same proportion of men and women in the world.

What can one half of a duplicated chromosome be referred as?

A chromatid is one-half of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome. During cell division, the identical copies are joined together at the region of the chromosome called the centromere.Joined chromatids are known as sister chromatids. Once the joined sister chromatids separate from one another in anaphase of mitosis, each is known as a daughter chromosome.Chromatids are formed from chromatin fibers.Bailey, Regina. "Chromatid."

How does a single chromatoid differ from an x-shaped duplicated chromosome?

A Chromatid is a single section or "half" of the intended Chromosome. It contains half of the genetic material of a full Chromosome. Two Chromatids are generally bound together with a Centromere in order to form a fully functional X Chromosome.


There are 4 chromatids in a?

A chromatid is one half of a duplicated chromosome, so typically there are 2 chromatids in a chromosome.


Why is there the chance that half of the zygotes will be female and the other half will be male?

The reason the chance of a zygote being a male of female is the same is due to simple genetics. Females only possess the X chromosome while males posses both an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. Since females only have an X chromosome they can only "give" an X chromosome while a male may give either an X or Y chromosome.


What is cell with one of each kind of chromosome?

If you mean haploid, as in half of each chromosome, or containing only one chromatid from each full chromosome, thenthe cell is called haploid.
