Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A newly replicated chromosome consists of two identical “ ____ “ chromatids

A	sister
B	brother
C	cousin
D	son

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A chromatid is one of the two identical halves of a chromosome that has been replicated in preparation for cell division. The two “sister” chromatids are joined at a constricted region of the chromosome called the centromere.

Detailed explanation-2: -After DNA replication, each chromosome now consists of two physically attached sister chromatids. After chromosome condensation, the chromosomes condense to form compact structures (still made up of two chromatids). As a cell prepares to divide, it must make a copy of each of its chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Following DNA replication, as part of cell division, each chromosome consists of two full length DNA molecules joined at the centromere. These two DNA molecules are sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the S phase (synthesis phase), DNA replication results in the formation of two identical copies of each chromosome-sister chromatids-that are firmly attached at the centromere region.
