Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following carry the same genetic information?
A
sister chromatids
B
X and Y chromosomes
C
all autosomes
D
all haploid cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sister chromatids carry the same genetic information. Sister chromatids are made up of either or maternal or paternal chromosome. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-2: -Each chromosome in a pair carries basically the same information; that is, each chromosome pair has the same genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sister chromatids are identical to one another and are attached to each other by proteins called cohesins. The attachment between sister chromatids is tightest at the centromere, a region of DNA that is important for their separation during later stages of cell division.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sister chromatids are two identical copies of the same chromosome formed by DNA replication, attached to each other by a structure called the centromere. During cell division, they are separated from each other, and each daughter cell receives one copy of the chromosome.

Detailed explanation-5: -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. The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle.
