What else can I help you with?
What is the region of chromosomes where paired chromosomes are joined?
The centromere is the part of the chromosome where sister chromatids are joined together.
What structure is formed by two sister chromatids being held together by a centromere?
A bivalent.Sister chromatids are normally joined at the centromere. When homologous chromosomes pair, the two sister chromatids of one chromosome join with the two sister chromatids of the other chromosome. So it is really the joining of non-sister chromatids that is special.The word "bivalent" refers to the temporary combining of the two chromosomes (four chromatids). The bivalent forms in prophase I of meiosis, and is split in anaphase I.
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.
A duplicated chromosome consists of two?
Two sister-chromatids.Each chromatid consists of a molecule of DNA together with associated proteins. There are two DNA molecules (sister-chromatids) following the replication of DNA midway through the preceding interphase. The sister-chromatids are therefore genetically identical.chromatidschromatidsThe two identical joined chromosomes before cell division begins is called sister chromatids.
How many chromatids does each chromosome have after S-phase?
A chromatid really only exists during the first two stages of mitosis(prophase and metaphase). This is when the DNA has been replicated and the chromosomes essentially is composed of 2 identical segments.
The point at which two chromatids joined is called what?
centromere
What is the region of chromosomes where paired chromosomes are joined?
The centromere is the part of the chromosome where sister chromatids are joined together.
How are sister chromatids joined at the centromere during cell division?
During cell division, sister chromatids are joined at the centromere by protein complexes called cohesins. These cohesins hold the sister chromatids together until they are separated during the later stages of cell division.
When a double helix DNA is replicated two complete helices are formed together these helices are called sister?
Sister chromatids - two copies of the same DNA joined at the centromere.
How can you write a sentence with centromere in the sentence?
The chromatids are joined together at a point called the centromere.
Before cell division begins each chromosomes consists of two identical joined chromosomes called?
Before cell division begins, each chromosome consists of two identical joined chromatids called sister chromatids. Each sister chromatid contains an identical copy of the chromosome's DNA molecule.
The replicas of chromosomes that form during prophase are called what?
During prophase, a chromosome is composed of tightly coiled DNA and protein molecules. Each chromosome exists as a pair of identical sister chromatids which are held together at the centromere.
How many chromatids are in a tetrad?
All tetrads contain four chromatids. Each "leg" is one chromatid.2Tetrad = 2 homologous chromosomes1 homologous chromosome has 2 chromatids joined together by a centromere.That means that there are four chromatids in a tetrad

The bivalent forms in prophase I of meiosis, and is split in anaphase I.
What is the difference between sister and non sister chromatids?
Sister chromatids are those replicated from the same chromosome whereas non-sister chromatids may be found in meiosis (particularly metaphase II) where paternal and maternal chromatids line up and eventually separate at the metaphase plate.
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.
When DNA is replicated the copied sister chromatids remain attached to what strcture?
The copied sister chromatids remain attached to the centromere, which is a specialized region of the chromosome where the two chromatids are joined. This attachment is crucial for ensuring that each daughter cell receives one copy of each chromatid during cell division.
