Chromosomes carry identical sets of what in their sister chromatids?
A
proteins
B
carbon molecules
C
genetic information
D
phospholipids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sister chromatids are pairs of identical copies of DNA joined at a point called the centromere. During anaphase, each pair of chromosomes is separated into two identical, independent chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sister chromatids are by and large identical (since they carry the same alleles, also called variants or versions, of genes) because they derive from one original chromosome.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sister chromatids carry the same genetic information. Sister chromatids are made up of either or maternal or paternal chromosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -The chromosomes in a homologous pair each have the same genes in the same order, but there may be variation between them, resulting in different alleles.
