Daughter Chromosomes
One of the two strands of a chromosome that becomes visible during meiosis or mitosis is known as the chromatid. Each chromatid is an exact copy of the other, formed during DNA replication in the interphase preceding cell division.
The second strand of a chromosome is a copy of the genetic information for that cell. There are 2 strands so that when the cell divides, there is one copy of each chromosome for each offspring cell.
A double-stranded chromosome refers to the structure of a chromosome that consists of two intertwined strands of DNA, each strand representing a long chain of nucleotides. These strands are held together by complementary base pairing between nucleotides, forming the characteristic double helix shape. During cell division, chromosomes replicate and become visible as distinct entities, with each chromosome composed of two sister chromatids joined at a region called the centromere. This structure is essential for the accurate segregation of genetic material during cell division.
The chromatin in the cell becomes chromosomes in prophase, the first stage of mitosis. The chromatin coils tightly together to form into separate chromosome strands during this phase.
If we use the word "chromatid", there are always two. (As with twins!)In a eukaryotic cell immediately after cell division (mitosis or meiosis), each chromosome contains only one DNA molecule.If the cell is preparing for a subsequent division, then midway through interphase the DNA replicates. Now there are two molecules of DNA in each chromosome.At the start of the following division, in prophase, the chromosomes condense, and the two DNA molecules, with their many associated proteins, become visible under a light microscope as sister-chromatids.
chromatid
One of the two strands of a chromosome that becomes visible during meiosis or mitosis is known as the chromatid. Each chromatid is an exact copy of the other, formed during DNA replication in the interphase preceding cell division.
Chromosones become visible during prophase.
daughter strands
These strands are called spindle fibers. Each replicating chromosome lines up vertically on a spindle fiber during metaphase. During anaphase, the fibers pull the replicating chromosomes apart (leaving one chromosome to go to either end of the cell).
The second strand of a chromosome is a copy of the genetic information for that cell. There are 2 strands so that when the cell divides, there is one copy of each chromosome for each offspring cell.
The strands are called chromatids. Druing prophase, the chromosomes coil and shorten and the nuclear memebrane dissolves. Each chromosome is made up of a pair of strands called chromatids, which are connected by a spindle of fibers called a centromere.
During Prophase
A double-stranded chromosome refers to the structure of a chromosome that consists of two intertwined strands of DNA, each strand representing a long chain of nucleotides. These strands are held together by complementary base pairing between nucleotides, forming the characteristic double helix shape. During cell division, chromosomes replicate and become visible as distinct entities, with each chromosome composed of two sister chromatids joined at a region called the centromere. This structure is essential for the accurate segregation of genetic material during cell division.
During the Prophase. :)Chromosomes become highly condensed.They are visible to light microscope,not naked eye
