Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following describes sister chromatids?
A
Identical copies of each other
B
“One from mom and one from dad”
C
Chromosome 5 from Mom, chromosome 5 from dad
D
Coiled up DNA that separates during meiosis 1
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 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-3: -Sister chromatids are identical copies of each other produced during DNA replication.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Unlike the sister chromatids in mitosis, the sister chromatids in meiosis are not genetically identical due to crossing over. Telophase II: During telophase II, cell division begins again in each of the two daughter cells, creating 4 daughter cells.
