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: -A pair of sister chromatids is called a dyad. A full set of sister chromatids is created during the synthesis (S) phase of interphase, when all the chromosomes in a cell are replicated.
Detailed explanation-3: -The two copies of a chromosome are called sister chromatids. The sister chromatids are identical to one another and are attached to each other by proteins called cohesins.
Detailed explanation-4: -During S phase, each chromosome is replicated. This produces a second copy of each chromosome from the mother and a second copy of each chromosome from the father. These identical copies are known as sister chromatids. These sister chromatids are held together by the centromere.
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.
